hey I hope this is helpful, but I had a similar experience.
I'd taken french i and made an A-, but dropped french ii after the teacher was way ahead of the other one.
I would review https://www.amazon.com/Ultimate-Spanish-Practice-Foreign-Language/dp/0071847588/ref=sr_1_8?ie=UTF8&qid=1495645444&sr=8-8&keywords=spanish+grammar+review grammar with a book like this.
I would review the two kinds of past tense, and work through as many chapters of this book as you can.
I was able to memorize about 2500 words and do some grammar review and test out of spanish ii, but it was pretty damn hard.
Knowing the past tense stuff, ser vs estar, and those sort of things will really make it a lot easier on you when you return to class.
also, considering the cost and pain in the ass you re going through to get back to campus, feel free to email you teacher to ask for the syllabus and what you should review to be ready for the class.
I find duolingo stupid, but you could download memrise and work on the 5,000 most common spanish words. I found it helpful.
This is the one I used: https://www.amazon.com/Ultimate-Spanish-Review-Practice-3rd/dp/0071847588
This is a great little review book of grammar exercises for ~$7 on Amazon (used).

I like the Anki flashcard app for reviewing vocabulary.
Children's television is great for listening practice. It can be helpful to think about what region you'll be visiting most often and consume their local media as slang can vary greatly. (I generally consume Argentine media as that's where I visit most frequently: Mundo Zamba and Tiranos Temblad are two good examples on YouTube).
MeetUp.com often has conversation groups that meet for lunch of coffee to get some low-pressure speaking practice in. Universities usually have clubs that do the same.
Reading material I also recommend starting with children's stories. And again I focus my experiences on Argentina, e.g. Luis Pescetti and Pablo de Santis
