Are college acceptance letters permanent?

Once a college gives you an acceptance letter, how easy is it for them to take it away from you? Obviously if you don't graduate, but can they take away the acceptance letter if your grades fall, or if they just decide they don't like you? This whole college process is confusing me.



The reason I'm asking is because I just got a 62 in chemistry on the 15 week. I'll probably manage to pass by the second quarter, but my grade won't be good. I'm worried that when colleges see my midterm they'll change their mind about my acceptance letters.Are college acceptance letters permanent?Ok, let's dispel some of the inaccuracies once and for all.



Universities accept freshman based on the applications, which reflect how you have done to date. The only requirements are that you have not lied on your application, and that you finish HS.



There have been more than a few acceptances that have been pulled for, among other things: Lying on transcripts, Forging letters of recommendation, Plagiarizing essays - things of that nature.



If you do not graduate from HS, you have violated one of the acceptance criterion. By definition you cannot enter the freshman class, so your acceptance is pulled.



Short of that, you are accepted. No college will ever see your last grades except to verify you graduated, and I guarantee without a doubt no college will ever examine your HS midterms. It's not a good idea to slack off, because college will be a hellava lot harder than HS and you don't want to form bad habits. But no one cares if you get an A, B or C - but you do have to pass.



So don't worry about an individual midterm or them pulling your acceptance - just worry about passing and honing your studying skills.

you must keep your grades steady. Don't let them drop, otherwise they can reject you. The early acceptance letter does not guarantee your spot in the University.
