Is it fair that I was excluded from college?

Not sure if this is in the right place and I am quite new here but I was excluded for faking a BSOD on a tutors computer and needed an opinion from technical minded people. The BSOD was classified as a Trojan Horse by the college, yes it is an executable file that fakes a BSOD.

The thing is several students have been full screening pictures of a BSOD on tutors computers as well as putting up Google mavity as a laugh and a joke and the teachers took it as a laugh and a joke but when I did the same thing except with a piece of VB code I wrote they classified it as a virus, told me I commited a crime and excluded me.

I know I have violated the Computer Misuse Act 1998 but so have they by putting BSOD pranks on tutors machines without authority to do so. Due to this I think it is extremely unfair that I was excluded and was wondering what I could do, I am already on stage 3 which means I am close to being permanantly excluded from college, they have sent me home and took my ID card off of me while they open up an investigation and what has ****ed me off the most is that I've had to walk home because non of the buses would accept my student bus pass without my college ID card and I had no cash on me.

Please help I need support! This is vital to my future, the last dicipinary I had I had to sign a contract stating that I would use the computers sensibly but if they can do a BSOD prank on tutors and it be taken as a laugh and joke then what is the meaning of sensible?

First, apologise, grovel, and do anything you have to do to get back on the course. Then if successful, keep your nose clean until you finish.

If not, then for the love of all that is holy ignore getting a job in Maccy D's or loading wagons "for a few years"... that's the talk of people with little ambition who are happy to just settle for what they can get in order to make ends meet. You only need to do that if you desperately need to find cash while tiding you over until you find something you want to do and hammer the interviews until you get it.

If you really are skilled with hardware and software then just go and find the minimum IT job you can qualify for, and make your way into a large company and then work your way up and into the required field from there. You will, however, need to grow up and stop acting like a kid along the way. At least "most" of the time. :D

Sorry but that is just retarded, yes you deserved to be removed from the College as you obviously don't seem to fussed about studying.

What can you do now? Apologise may work but I would start looking to apply for a new course at a different location next year and live with your mistakes. Maybe take an on-line course for the time being.

Plus in future don't be a retard
 
I made a promise that the systems will only be used for my work. I also stated that even if I think an action is right that I wont execute said action. They told me they are not 100% convinced but they also said that based on my knowledge they want me to have a good future with all that knowledge and in return for them letting me back into college I've to convince them by getting my head down with my work and nothing else. If I mess up this year then they wont let me onto next year basically.

I also just found out today that the college staff have been monitoring this whole thread and have created a log of what's been going on on this thread and based on what everyone have said to me they believe I've had a good kick up the backside which is true, I have had a good kick up the backside and I thank you all for that! :)

Past behaviour is the best indicator of future behaviour, so good luck with it, prove the theory wrong
