<p>I just did my freshman year at Arizona State University and am now taking a semester off. I can't go back to ASU (or any school) until I pay off my tuition ($17,000) for spring semester (because I can not receive my transcripts until it is paid off). I want to go to a different school with my major, hospitality management, for spring semester of this year. My overall GPA for freshman year at ASU was 2.15, so I'm nervous I will not get into any of the schools I am applying to. My high school GPA was a 3.45. Is it possible for me to start clean, not pay ASU the huge tuition bill, and apply to a school with my high school GPA? I don't know if it will be worth getting my transcripts from ASU, or if I will be better off starting fresh with just my high school GPA.</p>
<p>No. You must report to any new college all previous colleges. If you don’t, they can revoke your degree at any time. Also, think this through, why would you consider it OK to do that to ASU?</p>
<p>And here’s where they find out that you attended ASU:</p>
