If it's personal issues, then the centre for student development is a good place to go.

So are ~half the people going into engineering one.
Believe me, if university is gonna own you, it's better it happen in first year than in later years. First year is supposed to be where you learn that attending classes and doing school work are srs bzns.

you should really be pushing yourself and doing the entire year in fall/winter season like everyone else. What are you going to do when classes get far tougher in second year, I can tell you that i have substantially more class in second year than i did last year. If you dont learn to push yourself now you WILL fail second or third year, not something you want with tuition prices as they are.
As for conflicts, an engineering adviser may be able to do something about that

Sally Williams is the advisor you want to talk to by the way.
