I only got 18 units in my first year when I was a kid. I even had to write a begging letter to the dean to get allowed back! I came back as a first-year student but still could take second-year classes in one program. You should try to catch up with summer classes, or else you'll be at Mac for an extra year. Problem with summer classes is they're twice the work because they're taught twice as fast. Also, and I'm not trying to be a dick here because I went through the same thing: if you have failed >6 units level 1 already, you need to consider whether you have the maturity and dedication for a university-level education. Level 1 is laughably easy, it only gets harder from here, and stopping being a slacker takes a painful attitude adjustment, I know cos I had to do it. I wish I had quit Mac after failing level 1 and gone to Mohawk instead - the workload is easier, you get paid co-ops, and you're guaranteed a good job. I eventually went there anyway, but I lost out on the $400K or so I could have made in the meantime.
