Academic disqualification help !!

College Confidential Community
1

<p>I am studying in my second year in USC. I was on probation at the beginning of this year. At end of this semester my average grades (GPA) is little less than 2.0.
I am sure that this will lead to academic disqualification.
The reason of low grades could be that I may not be interested in my major, one of the GE research paper was plagiarised and may be as International student, I was not use to the American education system. Although my grades have improved overall. I work extremely hard but despite by grades come low.</p>

<p>By December all spring admissions colleges are closed.</p>

<p>What are my options?? </p>

<p>Can I do a non degree course at UC Berkeley which earns a full credit and take a transfer in fall semester? Is this acceptable? </p>

<p>Can I appeal? Will USC take me back after One semester? or apply for another University for fall?</p>

<p>Please advice and help !!!</p>

<p>Thanks</p>

<p>UC Berkeley is not likely to take a transfer student who just flunked out of USC.</p>

<p>You can appeal, but what will your argument be?</p>

<p>Your best bet, in California at least, might be to take community college courses to complete a transferable lower-division curriculum. You can then show academic improvement and become eligible to transfer with junior standing - which is generally much easier than transferring as a lower-division student.</p>
