<p>After 2 semester passed, I got a notice that I would be dismissed from school due to poor academic performance. </p>
<p>It is my mistake not to check the policy by myself. However, because of my ignorance, I registered for not-required classes and I got dismissed mainly due to those extra classes.</p>
<p>My school never mentioned academic requirement even when they informed students about even where to eat lunch. Only except dismissal.</p>
<p>I once wrote a lawsuit but did not file it because of money. If possible, however, I would like to sue the school and to continue to study at the school. Can you advise?</p>
<p>You’d never win. It’s your responsibility to know school policy. </p>
<p>No one is there to hold your hand in college; no one is going to sit there and read the catalog aloud to you and make sure you understand every word. Sorry, but you’re out of luck.</p>
<p>I disagree with the above posters. You definitely can’t sue because it’s not the school’s responsibility to read all of its policies to you personally. Your best bet is to try and turn your situation around yourself instead of trying to sue the school which will make them less impressed with you than they are now.</p>
<p>You might be able to work something out. My math teacher who went to Carnegie Mellon was dismissed because of poor academic performance but he managed to come back after like a week or something.</p>
<p>In the US anyone can file a suit over virtually anything. Do you have any chance of winning? No. That one can be dismissed from graduate school for poor academic performance is a fact that arises to the level of common knowledge in any person that is attending a college or graduate school. Think about it, claiming lack of knowledge of a school’s academic policies for performance on the graduate level because you did not bother to check on such a basic fact kind of proves the justification for the dismissal.</p>
<p>I should have used a different synonym, like “agree”, but the gist of my post is the same. Going through a lawsuit will alienate the school. The OP should try and work something out; most colleges are not unreasonable and would rather keep a student (especially one paying huge international tuition). Especially since, according to the original post, he/she hasn’t actually been dismissed yet but has only gotten a notice. The best bet is to contact student services or something and try to work on something to turn things around before you actually get dragged out.</p>
<p>I “disagree” with the others, Jahaba-style. School policies are available everywhere: look at the university website or in the administration building, and you’ll see it over and over again. Your fault for never finding it or searching and believing a school would keep you even with failing marks. My best advice is to go to a community college and raise your grades enough to get in somewhere, then LEARN THE POLICY for future reference.</p>
<p>I am not hoping with you. I think Jahaba’s being foreign would explain many things and would stop this thread from turning into a massive joke. Of course, I may be in disagreement with a number of people who do not think this is a ridiculous question to ask in the first place. But, hey, if OP goes to a foreign college, maybe they could be dismissed and be allowed to take classes!!</p>
<p>But you almost certainly signed something at some point saying that you had received the student handbook and were responsible for knowing everything in it.</p>
<p>And even if you didn’t, registering for classes includes agreeing to the school’s policy.</p>
<p>So you’re not going to win, and your lawyer isn’t going to agree to only get paid if you win, so you’re going to have to pay for the lawsuit yourself.</p>
<p>I would suggest that instead of spending time and money on a lawsuit, you spend it on finding out whether you can be readmitted and then either trying to get readmitted or trying to transfer to another school.</p>
