ljgeoffI went into Academic Advising today and found out that the meeting where they decide on my appeal isn't until sometime around June 6. In the mean time, I can go to class and then add the class later, if I win my appeal and if the instructors agree.
If I don't win my appeal, I can take classes at Bay de Noc, I think.
Other news -- the grades that I received back in 1979 are part of my permanent record and cannot be expunged. That means that if I want to improve my grade point average, I'd have to take those classes over. It is possible that I already took those classes over and the registrars office didn't catch it when I transferred my grades from U of M. (since the records from 1979 are in some nether-land of microfiche, not on the system computer) If I took and of those classes at U of M, then the bad grades from those classes will vanish.
The specific importance of grade point is that I will need a 3.10-3.15 or so to get into nursing school at NMU. If I win my appeal and am able to finish the summer out, I expect to have a 2006-2007 cumulative gpa of around 3.15. Adding the 1979 grades in will bring it down to a 2.7 or so, which will make me unlikely to get into nursing school at NMU.
I think I'll win my appeal, but I probably won't get in to NMU's nursing program in the fall. If I want to, I could retake the 1979 classes this fall, and apply in February. Or I can go to Bay de Noc, if I get accepted there - I should know that in a week or two, I think.

Date: 2007-05-22 10:16 am (UTC)One would think that schools would do everything possible to help qualified candidates get into nursing school, given the current shortage of qualified nurses.
I hope it all works out well, and soon.
