To whomever it may answer my question,

I would like to begin by saying I got dismissed by a University my senior year. I was not the best student; however, I maintained a 2.7 until last semester and two semesters ago. I was put to a academic suspension and I was able to appeal the suspension; however, a close fraternity brother passing away in our university, really gave me a hard time while I was suppose to do much better this semester. I was a math major, currently in academic dismissal. I could perhaps try to be reinstated after a mail, however my GPA falling under 2.0 for the second time, I do not even know what to say for them to take me back. I am very lost, and I have no idea where to even begin. I want to finish my bachelors, but I am afraid that not lot of schools would take me for the wrong doings (bad academic standings) from the past. I was wondering if I had to go back to a freshmen and start new, and if that is the case, I was wondering if community college would be a good start and possibly try to switch out from what I have studied and focus on different major.

My questions are:

1). Is it possible for me to try and get into a community college starting next semester, if yes, what are my chances?

2). Is going to community college and giving up everything that I have done at UMass Amherst would be a waste?

3). If I perform very well and end up getting a great GPA for my first year at CC, would I have a chance of switching out of CC to another school after a year?

Thank you so much in advance, and I would love a side input what I should do with my academic life.
