<p>Okay, so long story short I ran into some issues at my current university, and was in danger of being expelled(academic dishonesty). After talking to the Dean, he advised me to withdraw from the school to avoid any blemishes on my permanent record. However, he said if I ever came back to the school I will probably be faced with expulsion again. I can’t apply to any other colleges for the upcoming Spring 2010 semester because it is way past the deadlines since classes start next week. My question was, since I haven’t officially withdrawn from my college, can I take classes at another college for one semester and then transfer permanently somewhere else for the Fall 2010 semester? Or will I be in danger of getting expelled even if I am not taking the classes at my own school? Please help!</p>
<p>Most community colleges are open admission, and you can enroll as late as the first week of class. Some 4-year institutions have similar policies - especially lower-ranked ones.</p>
<p>Even if you can’t enroll as a degree-seeking student, you may be able to enroll as a non-degree student. Ask about the number of credits that you can take in that status, and the requirements for changing from non-degree to degree-seeking status.</p>
<p>Since your issue is with academic dishonesty at University A, your best option is probably to just take the next semester off completely. You need to work through whatever it was that got you into a situation where you engaged in the activity that is about to force you to withdraw. If you aren’t ready to stop that behavior, you aren’t ready to be in college just now.</p>
