Legal Question in Education Law in Massachusetts

suspended by university because of cheating on exam

I don't know if this place is suitable for this discussion, but I am really depressed and see no hope in life. So basicly two semesters ago on exam I got caught cheating and the case was forgotten until now when I sent the professor an email asking what will happen, then he summoned a meeting where they decided to suspend me for 3 semesters and upon arrival back to university (which will probably not happen due to financial condition) I have to recomplete the course. So this basicly puts me into a situation where the two years I have spent at the university is just gone. All my friends I made will be gone, and I can't face any of my family members /friends at home. So I see no hope in myself, although I wrote an appeal, but without success. Whenever I just close my eyes, I see the dark future that will approach, one mistake that will fatally change my entire life. I still remember when I used to be a child, how happy I was and now everything suddenly just disappeared in front of me. I don't know if anyone could try to help me. But I feel very lonely and feel that noone is trying to help me. All I want is to continue studying, but it's not possible, so I really don't know what's gonna happen. I lost all my hopes.

Re: suspended by university because of cheating on exam

If there is a will, there is a way. Please don't give up on your dreams.

You may have had a set-back, but the good part is that you can now move forward. We all make mistakes. You made one, but it is not the end of the world and making a mistake does not label you a bad person. You may not be able to afford to go back right away, but you are in the drivers seat as to where you are headed now. Please also consider discussing this with a close friend or family member you may be surprised at their supportiveness. Don't focus on what you did, but what you can do about it now. Please feel free to email me, my email address is under my profile. Sincerely, Maria Murber
