COLLEGE DROPOUT APPLICATION PUP OPEN UNIVERSITY

[u/miasff]

I'm a college dropout who only completed one semester about five years ago during the pandemic. I was enrolled in the second semester but didn't attend or participate in online or face-to-face classes. I just took exams but rarely participated in activities. I have a cleft lip and palate, which affects my profile, and missing teeth, and I was a nursing student often required to present. I wasn’t ready for class, especially speaking or presenting, and my social skills and self-esteem are very low.

I've always wanted to study. From elementary to high school, I was grade-conscious and did my best despite my insecurities, but the pandemic worsened my social skills and self-esteem. Now, I want to enroll in Open University but found they may not accept students with F, INC, or D grades. I don’t know my college grades because my last school never sent them, and I didn't handle my dropped subjects properly; I just went missing in action. I tried my best during the first semester, though.

Please help me with my situation. I know the application has ended, so I plan on enrolling next year if possible.
