Am I going to going to lose my seat? I'm thinking of taking a gap year DURING college...

<p>Hi guys, </p>

<p>Has anyone ever had experience with this? I just finished my freshman year at a pretty good college so I definitely don't want to lose my seat and have to reapply. My grades were not the best (2.7 GPA), but I have to STRESS that I have not been forced to take a gap year due to excessive academic failure or something like that. </p>

<p>I originally was going to go straight back to college after summer but I have to stay in my home state for a month during the Fall semester to help my parents with something that urgently came up after school had ended. I am now thinking of taking a full gap year so that I can re-focus, get some help for some personal issues and take a few classes at a local community college so that I am more prepared for when I get back. </p>

<p>I'm now freaking out because I don't know if I'll have to "reapply"? There's a readmission form but it doesn't seem like being "accepted" back is 100% guaranteed. I'm freaking the hell out, can anyone please soothe me? Do I have to worry about losing my spot? My grades definitely aren't good enough to transfer anywhere worthwhile...</p>
