Accept Your Suspension
It may be to your advantage to sit out your academic 悬架 period. See if you fall into one of these examples:
 

You were a science major and now want to switch to a English major. Most of your failed courses are those you will not need in your new major. If you sit out for three semesters, you can return to ODU and use the ARC policy to clean up your GPA.

You have been dealing with a personal issue that has been a distraction from your studies. This issue may be an illness, family or relationship matter. By taking the separation, you can attend to the situation and be ready to focus on school when you return. You may also want to consult Student Ombudsperson 服务s.
