Transferring from Langara

[jpoon]

If I am required to withdraw from sfu, and then I attend Langara to take courses, how fast would I be able to get back into SFU?

read it.

So lets say I take 6 courses in one semester, each being 3 credits each...

If I get a 3.5 avg gpa, then I can reapply to sfu? Is that right?

[eFx[A2C]]

6 courses @ 3cr each is 18 credits total. That would require 3.00 gpa.

I enjoyed your phrasing "required to withdraw" rather than straight up being kicked out of SFU for poor grades.

But everything has been answered eFx[A2C]. Good job!

I'm going to make the assumption this is your first time so this is the relevant text.

HOW CAN I RETURN TO SFU IF I AM REQUIRED TO WITHDRAW?
If you are RTW you may not enroll in classes. If you were already enrolled for the next term, your enrollment will be cancelled and any fees paid for that term will
be returned to you. All students who are in academic difficulty or who have been RTW are urged to arrange an appointment with Academic Advising & Student Success. If you are readmitted, your Permanent Record will always show that you were RTW and you will be placed automatically On Academic Probation (OAP) when you return to SFU.
If you are Required To Withdraw, you should take the
opportunity to examine and resolve the academic and non-academic factors which might have affected your performance as a student.
If you are Required To Withdraw you must complete transferable courses at another recognized postsecondary institution to qualify for readmission. Readmission decisions are based on the units and CGPA achieved in transferable academic course work completed after you last enrolled at SFU.
Repeat attempts at courses which you passed with a grade of C or higher prior to leaving SFU will not count in unit or GPA calculations in readmission cases. You may not take courses at college that are lower than the level already completed at SFU for readmission (e.g., student has successfully completed at SFU MATH 157 and/or 158; student may not take MATH 100, MATH XXX or MATH 1XX for readmission).
You should consult the BC Transfer Guide to determine whether a course you plan to take elsewhere is equivalent to either a course you took at SFU or a course you took before you entered SFU. This Guide is available online at www.bctransferguide.ca.
Your application for readmission will be considered once your final grades are available. Courses in progress will not be evaluated. However, if you have already fulfilled the readmission criteria and are taking further courses outside SFU, you may be conditionally readmitted.
Questions regarding the readmission process should be addressed to Student Information System Help Desk at 778.782.6930.

WHAT ARE THE READMISSION REQUIREMENTS?
If you are Required To Withdraw you will be eligible for readmission on Academic Probation if you complete any of the following 5 combinations of further transferable academic course work:
1. 12-17 units with a minimum 3.50 GPA, or 2. 18-23 units with a minimum 3.00 GPA, or 3. 24-29 units with a minimum 2.75 GPA or with the
acceptance GPA*, whichever is higher, or 4. 30 or more units with the acceptance GPA* or 5. a completed 2 year technical diploma with a
70% minimum average and at least 12 units of transferable course work with a minimum 2.75 GPA (the transferable work may be within the diploma program or supplementary to it).
* The acceptance GPA is the minimum GPA that BC College transfer students must achieve in order to enter Simon Fraser University that term. Because of enrollment limits, the acceptance GPA will fluctuate. If you complete an Associate degree, you must achieve this same acceptance GPA.

I wouldn't suggest taking on 6 courses in one semester. Especially since you seem to be having some trouble probably taking on less than that. So I would break it into 2 semesters for the best and easiest transition. I don't see college as being an "easier" institution where you can get higher grades without the work.

I would really re-evaluate my post secondary/academic career before anything though. Are you willing to start studying and putting in time to improve? If it is a fictional yes, I wouldn't even bother and save the money.

If you are required to withdraw, perhaps you should be making a plan that deals with the root of your academic incompetency. I would not take beyond a full course load before you identify why you are getting poor grades. Is it because you have too much out-of-school commitments? Is it your studying habits? Without addressing the real issue, this is just bound to happen again. By the sounds of it, it seems as if you just want to get back into SFU as soon as possible. Although I see the pressure to return to a university setting, this can do more harm than good. Have you seen an academic counselor?
