Hello,
This is a common confusion among first time college students. Yes, you will be allowed to attend the 2nd semester but only if you have failed in 1-2 subjects and there is passed or promoted in your semester 1 result. You will have to appear again for the exams next year when you will be in your semester 3. The semester 1 exams which you failed will be called back papers.
Hope this helps,
Thank you
