A: I'm sorry to hear about your dismissal. First, carefully review the official notice to understand the reasons behind the decision. Gather any relevant documents and consider if there are grounds to appeal the decision based on university policies. Reach out to your academic advisor or the university’s student services to discuss possible options and support available to you.

Next, consider the impact on your immigration status if you are an international student. You may need to notify the appropriate immigration authorities and explore options such as transferring to another institution or changing your visa status to remain in the country legally. Consulting with an immigration attorney can provide clarity on maintaining your status and avoiding any legal issues.

Finally, think about your academic and career goals moving forward. You might explore enrolling in a different program or institution that aligns with your interests. Additionally, addressing any factors that contributed to your dismissal can help you succeed in the future. Take proactive steps to ensure you have the necessary support and resources as you navigate this challenging time.
