I’m not sure I understand a few things concerning the details of your coursework and your relationship with your grandmother.

You say that you took care of your grandmother when she was ill and later visited her in the nursing home during the day. Are your parents in the picture, or are the guardian of your grandmother?

You say that you passed the classes that you took when she died in Oct 2012, I assume those were for the Fall semester that ended in Dec. If you passed, why have you been dismissed? How many warnings were you given, were you on academic probation? Where was your advisor during all this, didn’t they tell you to take incompletes due to personal problems rather than risking failing classes?
