<p>Just completed my junior year at UCSD, though I bombed out hard this year, essentially dropped maybe around 10-12 courses this year (I basically dropped almost all of them) and decided to take a leave of absence. There were mitigating circumstances to why I got so many W's but I would've screwed up anyway.</p>
<p>Took classes at Pasadena City College this summer, did well, intending to continue taking them this upcoming year to boost my GPA but am worried that the accrued units will count towards the upper unit cap (120) for UC-UC transfers.</p>
<p>In short, not sure what to do, and would appreciate the help.</p>
<p>Am also curious, seeing as how I'm not too far off situation-wise, for people who take leaves of absences without being in good academic standing, what's the typical course of action? I presume it is just going to JC/CC for some interval of time.</p>
<p>well do you want to transfer?some colleges put a cap on how many credits you can transfer.however, in regards to taking a break, most schools give you a year, so if it hasn’t been too long you can go back to ucsd</p>
<p>Yes I do intend to transfer, my very very last option would be to go back to UCSD</p>
<p>i’m in a similar situation as you except i just completed my SOPHOMORE year at my current university. </p>
<p>I had about 4 W’s and my GPA was/is really low. so i intend to transfer to another University in the future.</p>
<p>I’m not so much taking a leave of absence but have decided to transfer to a Community College to get my grades up there and then transfer out to another University.</p>
<p>but i guess the question both me and you have is… how long is the interval of time we have to spend at the CC/JC ?</p>
<p>Well, I don’t know if this will help or not but for transferring to U of I, priority is given to students who can finish their degree in 10 semesters or less.</p>
<p>You may have better luck if you ask your question in the UC forum.</p>
