About to completely fail a math class that will drop me below a 2.0 because its worth 4 credit hours (taking 2 4 credit hour classes, one 3, and one 1). Whatto do?
Ever had your finacial aid suspended?

I have before because I dropped a class that caused my completion rate to fall below 75% of the units i enrolled for. I petitioned and the dean let me go. Youcan try petitioning and say you were working too many hours and didn't have time to completely focus on school work. Then say you are going to work lesshours and focus more on school. They usually let you by the first time.

I really do believe that working 4 10's mon-thurs has made math (trig) extra hard. Because in class I understand it, but when when I get to work and trydoing it I make it till the 10th problem or so and then its a warp, I get lost. So I don't have the chance utilize the schools resources the way I need

i have to pay for it, 825 dollars for 3 courses that i dropped and stopped attending in the middle of the semester. the thing is, i appealed twice before so idont think they'll let me slide this time. i had a two 4.0 last semester and i dropped econ because it wasnt relevant to my major... but now i owe thestate and college 825 total since i dropped all the courses without notifying them beforehand

Well I know at my school if your GPA goes below a 2.0 they put you on probation for the following year and if you don't raise it by the time the next FAFSAcomes around then you're screwed!
I suggest appealing your #*! off if you're borderline. Come up with a good story or something.

Anyway, in response to your OG question, I don't receive financial aid at my home school anymore, or rather--I've been cut off because I have about145+ credits and somewhere, there was a rule saying that after a certain # of credits, you weren't going to be eligible for aid anymore considering ittakes 120 creds to earn a Bachelors and graduate.
So yeah, at my home school, I'm @*%ed out. Knowing this h/e, I took a yr off (this fall and spring) to work and save up--while taking classes at my localCC at a much lower price. And because I'm technically in a new school, I qualify for aid...
But when I do head back to my home University next fall, I'll have to do the whole petition thing as see how I fare.
