Long story short, undiagnosed anxiety caused me to transfer schools during my junior year, and then subsequently fail two semesters (0 credits earned). It has been a year since my dismissal, in which time I moved back in with my parents, worked a three month internship, and continued my work freelance video production.

Now I believe that I am ready to get back to school, but since I failed the last two semesters I attended school, I don't see many options. I've exhausted every possibility of appealing the dismissal, but all advisors have told me that the school's policy is essentially non-negotiable: after being dismissed, I must wait four years (three more) before I can become eligible for academic forgiveness and return with a clean slate. 

This four-year wait seems a bit excessive to me, and I hoped that they would be a bit more understanding towards mental health issues, but it seems that there's nothing I can do on that front. I figured I would attend a CC for a few semesters to get my GPA up and then apply to another decent school with a media program, but does my past essentially guarantee that I won't be able to go to a school of equal caliber no matter how hard I work from here on out? If it helps, the school I was dismissed from was Temple University.

failed two semesters at a school I was dismissed from, because of anxiety. What can I do about getting back into good standing?
