<p>After a bad semester resulting in poor grades I have been asked by my college to take a leave of absence effective next semester (which starts on the 21st).</p>
<p>As it took me by surprise (I was informed last Friday) I am still deciding what to do for one semester.</p>
<p>Has anyone been in the same situation? What did you do for that one semester? Bum around for a semester? Work? Travel? Take credits at some other college? On that line, how easy is it to study at some other college for just one semester? Do most colleges allow something like that? I know a lot of people do that during summer, at colleges close to home...</p>
<p>Before taking credits to transfer, you’ll want to make sure your school will accept them even though you are essentially suspended from academics by your home institution. Sometimes that academic suspension means that your school WILL NOT accept any credits you take during that period of time!</p>
<p>a program that your school will take credits from. this is more of a question for your academic advisor than for an internet forum. no one here is truly qualified to give you a good answer on that (any more than a basic opinion). you want a school that has a good program in your major AND (most importantly) that your school will accept transfer credits from…same basic factors as picking a college</p>
<p>Thanks for your reply. My advising office is being very noncommittal and saying I am free to study at other institutions but have to check beforehand whether the credit will be transferable.</p>
<p>So at the moment I am looking at other institutions which have some sort of non-stringent visiting student/nondegree program.</p>
<p>Any suggestions? My major of interest is Operations Research (it’s along the lines of Industrial Engineering).</p>
<p>wow. seems like they handled you nicely. at my school they are not so nice in their terminology cause they kick you out because of “academic disqualification.”</p>
