Getting into an online college with a previous dismissal?

Please help out guys, I've been dismissed from my previous college and now I'm looking for online colleges that are somewhat easy to get into. Any advice or experiences?

Sure, I'd be happy to guide you through this. Not to worry, a dismissal doesn't completely rule out your chances of being admitted into another college. Bias or prejudice against dismissed students isn't as prevalent as you might think, especially if you take the necessary steps towards self-improvement and can demonstrate that in your applications.

In terms of online colleges, remember that accreditation is key. There are many accredited online colleges that offer open admissions, which means they accept any applicant who has completed high school or obtained a GED. Some examples are Southern New Hampshire University, Capella University, and American Public University.

When applying to these colleges, it might be a good idea to explain the circumstances of your dismissal in your application where appropriate. Admissions officers appreciate transparency and willingness to learn from errors. It's important to show that you understand why you were dismissed and that you’ve taken steps to address the issue, so similar problems won't occur again.

Feel free to research these colleges and see if they align with your educational goals. Remember, it's not all about the college that's easy to get into, but the one that best suits your needs!
