<p>Ok so I've looked around college confidential, specifically the USC threads, and it's all been helpful but.... I still need some advice</p>
<p>Ok so for me I'm going to be starting SC in January because of the whole spring admission, and I'm wondering how will that effect when I graduate. Will I get stuck in all the classes that are left over from the fall term? I'm just wondering if being a spring admit, in general is going to make it hard for me to acclimate to life at SC? God willing I'll be fine, but I guess it'd be nice to get advice from people about academics and social life and stuff like that from people. Thanks kindly :]</p>
<p>There are new classes every semester, so you won't be stuck with the "leftovers". You may get a later registration spot for spring classes than fall admits, though.</p>
<p>Like the above post said, there are new classes every semester. Spring admits do register later than everyone else but there are some spots </p>
<p>As a spring admit, I can say that you'll be absolutely fine. The only thing you'll have to do is try a little harder to meet people but you'll be just fine. You'll even be glad you were able to take advantage of taking your GEs at a community college!</p>
<p>i am a spring admit last semester. i had to deal with just getting whatever is available. but if you really want and need the class you can either go to the professor and ask him or her to let you in. or wait for some spaces to open. since you are free to drop or add courses till a certain time period. ours was till feb 1. </p>
<p>i dont think it will cause you any delay, but id ask the advisor assigned, he or she can really help you plan out your track.</p>
<p>As far as staying on track to graduate with your class, a couple things could help you: (1) AP exam credits and (2) anything you can do in the fall to earn college credit. If you passed 4 AP exams that USC credits, you've got enough credit to keep up with the class of 2012. A lot of spring admit kids go to community college, but you can also attend a 4-year university and complete some of your GE courses. Some of them are still accepting applications (want an adventure? go to University of Alaska or some similarly exotic place!) My son, who was originally a spring admit but was moved up to fall, had plans to do a study abroad semester with NOLS or Where There Be Dragons, both of which would have offered college credits. The key to this is checking with USC before you plan your fall so that they can tell you which courses will qualify for USC credit. There's a Facebook group for spring admits, and some people there have posted detailed information about how to get this clearance.</p>
