Of course you can be expelled if the school so states in it policies. Rule of thumb, any school that wants to preserve a high standard system will expell a student for failure to maintain minimum academic requirements. Hope that helps.

I would say likely but not the norm. Chiropractic school is not hard. If you show up and read a bit you can pass with flying colors. I will say when I went through I didn't know anyone who was booted but several who had to repeat classes. I have to admit I didn't know everyone but Chiro schools are small and you know many of the students there.

Expelled From Chiro College

You cannot get expelled from chiropractic college for almost anything, not even a felony conviction.

I would know, because I began at one before going to a carib medical school(I would rather not say which one). While there, a student got into a fist fight with a professor. The administration only warned him that the school would call the police the next time it happened. This particular student already had a felony conviction, which would make him ineligible to practice in most, if not all, states btw.

Another student brought a marijuana pipe for "show and tell" during a lecture and the class instructor, far from being outraged, actually thought that it was amusing!

And a third student, who had already been charged with sexual harrassment by a female student and had several complaints lodged against him from several of his DC instructors, appeared in lab drunk/hungover at 8:00am for a radiology rotation, and told the DACBR a very vulgar, sexually-explicit comment that I cannot write on these boards. He was only kicked off the rotation and merely had to repeat it the next week.

So trust me, you cannot get expelled from a chiro school. They will enroll you as long as you can pay the student loans.

The question is, why do you want to go into this field? I saw the writing on the wall early on and got out of it. There is a website, called chirotalk, that displays the bad side of this profession. I had read it and also read chirobase, a skeptical view of chiropractic. I have not regretted it, and many people, like myself, left to go to the caribean as soon as they can.
