Answer 1

u best when attend diff school, start fresh. not to send your transcrip to that school.

Answer 2

Usually, the credits will transfer, but if you decide to major in theater at the new school, you may have to re-take those classes. So you'll keep the credits as "electives", but still have to retake the core acting or theater classes. Still, I think the experience of taking the acting classes in cc will be valuable. It's a good idea. Some community colleges have extensive theater programs, and will give you real world experience in theater arts. For example, the cc where my husband teaches theater has students in their production classes actually design and build sets for the college's productions. They also help students find internships and etc. at local companies that build sets for Broadway shows (we're in NY). Also, if you enroll in college full time, you'll be eligible for SETCs (or your local equivalent). These are sort of hiring fairs for summer stock theaters in a particular region. They hire everyone from there - from actors to techies. When you transfer to a four year program, if it's a good acting program, most of those have some sort of connection to an established theater. You will be able to do some intership types of work there. Depends on the school.

Your record will follow you, so if you really want a degree, then, as my mom used to always say to me, "pick yourself up, dust yourself off, and start all over again."

I had to do that a few times. I was ill, but didn't know it, so it was very difficult to finish classes. But I did want my education, so I worked hard. I also took a "College Success" class. You might benefit from the textbook from that class. It's called "Becoming A Master Student." You can probably go to any on line book store and pick it up for a very low price. It has a ton of study skills, and some personal development sections called, "Power Processes." It's a great book.

Changing colleges won't improve your success in college. If you are close to home, stay there. Only change colleges if you find a major you want that isn't at the college where you are.

See your academic counselor to see what you need to do for now. They will explain it all to you. It's not bad -I had to do that, too.

I don't want to cause you to doubt yourself. Are you sure you want to go to college? It's not for everyone. It's something to think about, but not to stress over, okay?

Answer 4

Something like this happened to be about being disqualified. This is my 2nd year in college and I don't want to rush and fail any of my classes like my 1st year. I took all these classes and failed =[. Well I read on the school website that when you get disqualified, you can't apply in the same district. Just check the school's website. Ask someone about applying as a freshman. It doesn't seem illegal but make sure.

Answer 5

Its not illegal. (At least I dont think so...) Umm, My husband kinda has the same problem..He was going to school in California, then moved out to Arizona..took 1 class, but dropped it without "withdrawing" so he received an F at the end of the semester. We're now moving back to california and he has decieded NOT to transfer his units from AZ....I think, technically, you dont have to tell the other school, but if they ask, you might have to.
Good LuCk!!!

Answer 6

That will not be fair enough to jump from one place to another. Do a self analyze within yourself and correct the mistakes here itself. Who knows, you might even go worse when you select another one.

Answer 7

If you want to pursue you studies in that same school, please ask your school registrar or dean of students. They would tell you the bast that you can do. I believe, they will still accept you if you would tell honestly the reasons why you had that previous experience of studies. Remember, EDUCATION (is) FOR ALL.
