Hi there,
I’m currently an undergrad student studying for winter term finals, and time’s almost up. I was just wondering what the logistics are for withdrawing from spring term, moving off campus, etc.
I am going to be living with a friend in the city while looking for a job and a place of my own. (I have everything for the part after leaving college sorted out, just not the actual leaving college part.) I am deciding to stop education for the time being due to mental health issues having gotten worse since joining. Also, I would simply like to get myself financially on my feet again.
However, I would like to return to my university, as it is my preferred college and I know for certain I want a higher education. I’d just like to do it after I get my shit together, because then I will be mentally stable (or at least prepared) for education again.
My main questions are:
-How do you find out who your advisor is? I never met mine and don’t know what resources to use to find them.
-What are the logistics of withdrawing next term? (e.g. who do I talk to, how does it affect tuition/GPA/etc.)
-If I withdraw for, say, a semester, can I return later? How will this affect my transcript?
-How does one get their transcript, official or unofficial?
-If I’m failing a course right now, can I retake it/continue it in the future? How will this affect my transcript? (I’m failing French, which isn’t relevant to my major but I’d just like to continue it when I return.)
If someone could answer as soon as possible that’d be lovely, as spring term begins in a few weeks. I’m just a bit lost and need some advice from people who have gone through this before, or at least someone who has more of an understanding of college life.
Thanks y’all!
