Second Semester Admissions?

<p>I've been recently informed by my university that I was planning to attend that I am no longer a part of their 2018 class due to some paperwork issues that caused me to not be able to sign up for classes. This was several days ago and I've moved on from the shock factor but am now trying to find alternate routes that I can take. I've thought of volunteering for a year or working for a year but ultimately, my parents and I agree that it would be better if I would be able to take classes for a year. Community college is unfortunately out of the question since the credits wouldn't transfer to the colleges I'll be applying to later as they are all out of state.</p>

<p>Are there any colleges/universities that accept students for a second semester or such? It can be a school anywhere in the world.</p>

<p>Second semester? If you mean starting college in spring 2015, then you could look into Brandeis, Bates, and Connecticut College.</p>

<p>I’m not sure I would agree that an accredited community college would not have transferable credits in things like English, Math and basic classes in Social Sciences that you would likely take anyway. While the school you want to attend may not have an official agreement with the Community College, this doesn’t rule out the fact that they might take all of your credits. You can talk to the registrar at the receiving school to find out what they say, but generally speaking most schools will accept first year classes as long as they aren’t remedial or far out electives.</p>

<p>That said, there are some schools that might accept you, but if you are hoping to get an academic scholarship, you may be in a bind. Most academic scholarships for Freshman are for ‘new’ Freshmen and not transfers. The school may have scholarships for transfers, but be aware that those are often not as lucrative as the ‘new’ Freshman ones. Be sure you check this out before attending another school. </p>

<p>That said, almost any public college will accept students still for the Spring.</p>

<p>Before doing anything else, I’d ask this question of the school at which you thought you would matriculate in the fall. </p>
