@Falconette85 you’re awesome!!! You totally got this!!
Keep rocking it! Congrats!Hello everyone! Here's another update with the readmission process.
As mentioned earlier in this thread, I had to write a letter requesting "Vet Med Special" status for this fall to the Assoc. Dean. My CVM faculty contact also mentioned I had to send it to him by May 15 along with my official transcripts.
Slight problem: my classes through Colorado State and Iowa State were not going to be completed until May 11. So, I asked my CVM faculty contact for advice. They suggested I mention (in the letter) that I am in the process of completing the required prerequisite courses but that I would submit my official transcripts as soon as my classes are completed. Ok! Perfect!
So I have been working on my letter to the Assoc. Dean and wanted a few eyes to look at it. I took my letter over to my undergrad advisor (who has been instrumental during this whole process) and we polished my letter. His question to me was: 'When are you going to submit this? I wouldn't wait on submitting this. If I were you, I would have submit this yesterday. With every passing day, an undergrad (who applied to vet school for the upcoming fall) is competing with you for your seat.' 😱 I hadn't thought of that. So I emailed my letter to the Assoc. Dean that night.
Here's what I got back yesterday:

NEVER. GIVE. UP!!!
I want to thank each and every single one of you for believing in me, encouraging me and always being in my corner. I'll continue to keep everyone updated because I'm sure there might be some more hidden steps in completing this process before being 'officially' reinstated as a full-fledged veterinary student.
But again, thank you everyone <3

Hello friends!
Thank you all for your continuing support and belief in me. ❤️ I wanted to keep everyone up-to-date on what's been going on with the readmission process.
Fall semester at vet med ROCKED! 😄 The classes I had to retake were Histology and Nutrition. I also decided to take an elective (Veterinary Practice Management) so that, when I am readmitted, it's one less class that I have to worry about. Fall semester had a twist to it because of COVID-19 but it worked out. 👍 Just as the academic committee required, I got a B or higher in both classes! Onward to spring semester!!
For spring semester, I will be retaking Anatomy II, Histology II, and Immunology. I am a little apprehensive about anatomy since that was the class that I failed and got me into this mess. 😕 Stay strong right?
Some details about registering for spring semester classes (in my situation): When I received my official grades from the registrar's office, I asked my contact faculty member if I should reach out to the academic committee...I was told not to because they would reach out to me. 🙄 A couple weeks go by and I haven't heard anything, and I need to file my FAFSA, get my financial aid going and I have less than a month before classes start! So I went ahead and sent an email to my faculty contact and cc'ed the academic committee (I'm sure my faculty contact loved that 😂) and low and behold, the academic committee replied with my approval letter the next day and encouraged me to email the professors of the classes I needed to retake! Hmm....'Peter Principle' anyone? Anyhow, because of COVID-19, everything is done through email, so once I received my approval letter; I emailed the professor in charge of the class and asked for their permission to take their course. Once I received their approval email, I forwarded it to the vet med academic records analyst so they could officially add me to the class. I hope this makes sense?
A little more hoop jumping, but it's going to be worth it! I can't wait to show the professors that I am made for this! It's going to be SO satisfying!
Again, thank you all for your kind words and ongoing support.
I will keep you all updated!
🥰☺️😁✌️

I am currently trying to go through this process of readmission. How do I start out by asking for a petition? Do I go to the I just went through the same situation and really want to get back to school. I have been polite and patient when asking questions with the office of student affairs, but I feel like it is getting me no where. Any suggestion would be helpful.Hello everyone!

Hi Networkgirl61!
As battie asked, what school do you go to? Each school may have a different readmission process. You are welcomed to PM me as well 🙂
