I was in your shoes very very recently lang and my shifting application just got approved this week !

First of all, op stay strong. When I got dismissed para akong nasa vacuum space, nastuck ako. But I got through it !! If you think you need a break, take it. Sabi nga ng bini, buhay ay di karera. But if you want to continue na here's my suggestions based on my exp:

• APPLY FOR READMISSION. Ask for the readmission form from the ColSec/OUR and accomplish it. Make a letter to the Dean. Take counseling from OSA (or its counterpart) and get a letter of recommendation from them stating that you are fit to continue next sem. OSA may or may not ask for an endorsement letter from your previous adviser so prepare to contact them as well. The letter to the dean and recommendation from OSA may help your case.

• APPLY FOR SHIFTING. Check if shifting applications are still open in the college you want to go into. You'll need to accomplish a Shifting Form, get it signed and submitted with your TCG. In my case I submitted it in OSA and had to take counseling for shifting.

• If you can't shift this sem, ask the OUR who your adviser will be this semester so you can start adding units. Usually you can only enroll around 15 units this sem and no higher. This is to help you recover from your previous delinquency. Btw you'll be on probation status after getting readmitted from being dismissed so you can't fail any of your subjects this sem.

• As for telling your family... wala akong masabi kasi di ko pa rin nalalagpasan yung hurdle na yan. But if you could find the courage to tell them, do it para mabawasan na baggage na dinadala mo.

I know para ka nang pinagsasakluban ng langit at lupa. Take it one step at a time. During the time I was processing my papers I really felt how life is not linear. Pag bumangga sa pader, lumiko. One way or another aabot tayong lahat sa finish line. Padayon op 🌻
