Hello all!

I've got to ask the following questions from well learned, exposed and experienced Students and Academicians whom are either Graduates or presently an Undergraduate in Nigerian Polytechnics and Universities, in the Career Section of this great forum on behalf of a friend, who is also on NL but prefers to be anonymous.
THE ANALYSES GOES THUS:
1. A Student graduates with Distinction in National Diploma from one of the Federal Polytechnics in Southwestern states.
2. S/he applied for his/her HND programme in the same institution.
3. S/he was admitted. 4months into the Session and First semester examinations for HND 1 began. While in the exams, s/he, unfortunately, wrote at the back of a graph sheet required for a particular course in the exams (which originally should have been provided by the School). One of the invigilators saw him/her and claimed s/he has committed Examination Malpractise(?).
4. S/he was invited to face the Examination Misconduct Panel and was finally expelled from the Institution.
5. S/he already has his/her Notification of Result for the National Diploma before the incident occured.
QUESTIONS
a) Would the 'expulsion' have effect or be subjected to ratification on his/her National Diploma Results?
b) Would s/he be availed the opportunity to apply for Transcript for his/her ND results into another Institution?
c) Would the Institution be ready to give out his/her records during ND without inserting the shameful 'expulsion' during his HND programme into the records and reports?
d) Can he reapply to the same institution the following year?
e) If the answer to [d] above is 'Yes,' how best can he/she possibly cope with the shame and depression?
f) Should he/she inform his/her Parents/Guardians? What about the shame and their countenance on the excess money, time and resources wasted on the folk on his Acceptance Fee, School Fee and numerous feeding and sundry allowances, especially during this tragic situation of the economy?
YOUR CANDID OPINIONS ARE WELCOMED AND WOULD BE WELL APPRECIATED BY THE BEARER WHOM SHALL BE READING ALL YOUR RECOMMENDATIONS.
Thanks in anticipation.
Warmest Regards!

The first thing is to let your parents/guardians know, they can add a whole new dimension to the problem solving process that you never thought of.
They should even have been told before facing the Examination Misconduct Panel.
The way I see it, the best way to solve all your problems at once is to try every means available to get the expulsion reversed. Failing that, apply for your ND transcript and enroll for HND at another school. Ideally, the issue is not supposed to affect the HND result, but based on the Nigerian factor/African-pull-him-down-mentality, it might. Whatever they do, you can still use it to get HND spot at another university if you are not too selective.
Remember, all these are just a tip of the iceberg compared to what is obtainable in the real world work environment so rather than being ashamed or depressed, consider it a learning/growing experience.

The bearer really appreciates your sincere recommendations.

Since d all problems happened during his/her HND program, he/she has nothing to fear concerning d ND program.
S/he can apply for her/his transcript without any subjugation or harassment.
S/he can also apply in subsequent years to come but d school authority has d right to denied him addmission.
Its very important s/he let his/her parent or guardian into problem bcause they are crucial in his future academics persue.
