Academic Probation Question

[Lotusxx]

<p>Hello. I am a junior engineering student at UCSD and I have not been able to get in touch with my college due to freshmen orientation and the weekend. Although I submitted my questions through the virtual advising on MyTritonlink, I am going to call them Monday. Having said that, I would really like student input on my situation. A couple of you have probably been in my situation or have friends that have gone through this.</p>

<p>My story is almost the same as
<a href="http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/university-california-san-diego/1338215-academically-disqualified-transferring-back.html%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/university-california-san-diego/1338215-academically-disqualified-transferring-back.html&lt;/a>
(it's a quick read)</p>

<p>Differences:
1. my final term GPA (spring 2012) is between a 1.5 and 2.0 - academic probation (academic disqualification is below 1.5).
2. My overall GPA is above 2.4 (good standing)
3. I transferred last fall. This means I have most lower div and some upper div classes finished. </p>

<p>Since I have academic probation, I was thinking about taking a medical leave of absence (hopefully such a thing exists. Again, it has been hard getting a hold of my college advisors) for the year and return back in fall 2013. During this time I would take classes at my transfer comm college that can be finished and kick ass. </p>

<p>Has anyone done this? I'm scared that if I go on leave and go through the readmission process (How</a> to Apply for Readmission to UCSD (Undergraduates) ) that my app will be rejected. It seems like a 50/50 shot to me once you leave. I heard having a "doctors note" helps for "exceptional circumstances" but all cases are different. I have never known anyone who went through this process and I need to hear the bad news if there is any. </p>

<p>My graduation is not going to be pushed back and taking classes at my CC actually helps me finish some of those pesky engineering lower div requirements. </p>

<p>Any help will be greatly appreciated.</p>

<p>thank you.</p>

<p>why are you taking a leave of absence? academic probation does not mean that you are kicked out of school. you can retake whatever classes you need to next quarter.</p>
