I was required to withdraw, but was not well enough to appeal. I might have been able to appeal anyway, due to the illness, but was not informed of that by the ombudsman. I was informed that if I took 12 credits and was able to maintain a 2.0, I could re-apply to the university. I applied to open studies at a community college but was denied due to my RTW.

Next I went the fraudulent route. I applied to another university with only my high school grades, denying that I had taken any university courses. I managed to maintain a 3.3 at that university, admittedly with a number of voluntary withdrawals. I ultimately chose to walk away.

After managing to achieve stability, I decided to go back. I am a nursing student. I applied with both sets of transcripts as many universities will accept one RTW assuming you can prove that you are now able to meet the requirements. It is a difficult thing to work through, and I would recommend doing extension courses rather than going the fraudulent route, but it can be worked through.

I would appeal it though. At worst, you will be unsuccessful.
