<p>My first year of college I attempted 9 credit hours. It was 3 classes that were 3 credits each. I ended up getting sick and flunked my first year. Now I'm on academic probation due to a Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) thingy that the school has something about needing to pass 65% of my attempted credits. </p>
<p>I'm on academic probation right now with financial aid and the school financial lady told me that I would most likely go on Suspension with financial aid in January but I need to appeal it in January to get Financial aid again. </p>
<p>I'm wondering since I am taking my failed classes over again in August and another class if there is a way to take enough classes to get off of academic probation by being able to meet the SAP requirement of passing 65% of attempted credit/classes? </p>
<p>I'm trying to figure out how many credits that I need to take in August in order to pass 65% of attempted credits/classes with at least a 2.0 because I don't want to end up on suspension fighting/begging for financial aid with appeals each term. </p>
<p>Thank you for your time. I appreciate you reading this.</p>
<p>Hi,
Just to clarify. I did take 12 credits BLOCK CLASSES when I flunked out from being sick. I dropped a class. 12 credits is considered full time for aid. </p>
<p>I’m going back in August to retake my failed three classes plus an extra class to make a total of 12 credits to be considered full time for financial aid. I’m on academic probation with financial aid for fall/august. </p>
<p>I’m just wondering how many credits that I need to take in order to meet the “pass 65% of attempted credits/classes in order to meet the SAP requirement with a 2.0” to get me off of Academic probation so I don’t end up on suspension in January having to appeal financial aid.</p>
<p>I’m assuming you get some kind of incomplete for those classes you couldn’t finish because you were sick. If you didn’t attempt that first, ask about this with your advisor. Usually, if you’re sick, you don’t flunk classes but rather you get incompletes. Or get a medical absence/leave.</p>
<p>Still, I’m a bit confused in terms of your timing. Were you going to school for two semesters? Were you sick for both semesters? Do you have any credits that you passed?</p>
<p>As you have written the question, you would need to pass 18 credits in order to have 65% of attempted (18/27 = .66667). But it’s not clear if that’s what the school wants, so as Erin’s Dad suggests, it’s best to ask the school for clarification.</p>
<p>ETA: that’s assuming 3 credit courses. If there were some 2 credit courses to choose from, 17/26 = 0.653.</p>
<p>Thank you for your help all of you. The reason why I didn’t get a medical leave is because when I was admitted to the hospital in 2007 I had blood clots in my lungs. They were nearly all the way filled up in my lungs. I was on my death bed at that point. It was touch and go. </p>
<p>They were going to life flight me to a different hospital at that point if the doctors didn’t see improvement within a certain time frame. Betime I got discharged from the hospital it had been over 30 days. My mom and husband at the time kept telling me to not worry about school that it was taken care of but when I got discharged they told me that my college it was the last thing on their mind to worry about.</p>
<p>So basically nothing got done about it whatsoever. The FA lady told me that the damage was already done since I flunked at the end from failure to withdrawl from the block classes my first year in 2007 so thats why im retaking the classes now in August/fall.</p>
<p>Limabean:
I was admitted to the hospital with blood clots in the lungs in 2007. It was the January term taking block classes. I flunked out in the end because I didn’t even complete the first january term and nobody was concerned about my college since I was on my death bed then in the hospital. I received WF in each class. It took 30 days before I was discharged from the hospital.</p>
<p>Now I’m retaking the failed classes in August/fall term.</p>
<p>If you couldn’t withdraw from your classes in time because you were hospitalized, you have a strong case to appeal to have the 2007 fails reversed and turned into incompletes or withdrawals. You can’t be held accountable for not taking an action while you were incapacitated, and your mother and spouse had no responsibility–and likely no power–to withdraw you. I would file an appeal and fight this one all the way up the ladder. It’s too important to let go.</p>
