<p>failed two of my classes, got D in one and a B- in another class....so i was put on achademic probation for the next semester...so this semester i made a three B, and a C-(probably)...but it's not getting me the 2.0 gpa i need to receive financial aid for next yr...my cGPA turn out to be 1.7 something...is there any way i can appeal or somehow make them understand that i will do better next yr...and really need the money...i was a freshmen this yr...</p>
<p>i know lots of u just think i should give up or i don't deserve the money..i've heard this already..so if u have just somethign alternative any kind of suggestion..please write..i need help...anything will be deeply appriciated....thanks...</p>
<p>because by this semester i’ve learned how to manage time and study for exams…i jsut failed to do it properly for my math class which is why i have a C- in this class…next yr i will try hard for all of my class…and also i m not dismissed yet but my cGPA is 1.7 so probably will be…if i am not then my aid will be canceled which require 2.0 GPA…</p>
<p>You may be able to convince them not to dismiss you; there’s some flexibility there if you can convince them you’ll start doing better. The problem is, you cannot legally receive federal financial aid if you are not making “satisfactory academic progress” towards a degree. It doesn’t matter how much anyone at the school wants you to stay or likes your story; they may be able to direct you to other sources of aid, but you cannot get the federal aid you have.</p>
<p>If you manage to fail classes, I really don’t think you do deserve money… You were given a second chance, and you blew it. Judging by the lack of effort you put into your request for help, I can’t take you seriously. The least you could do is spell check or read your post out loud to make sure it makes sense (you “made a three B”?).</p>
<p>I agree that community college may be the best option for you, your money, your GPA, etc.</p>
<p>To the OP, honestly, this is something that you have to figure out with your school. Policy gives you the possibility of an appeal:</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Each school is different, so you should check with your school’s page to see what your options are and what they will require. And, of course, there are no guarantees. Good luck!</p>
<p>Smunira, if you came to me and asked to be excused from the consequences of actions you chose, on the grounds that you expect to make better choices in the future, I don’t think I would be inclined to give you a break.</p>
<p>If you could show me that you had done the best you could, and if you could give me a reason to believe that you would be able to do better in the future, that would be different. But you seem to be saying that you were given a second chance and you didn’t care enough to use it to get good grades in all of your classes. That doesn’t inspire confidence that you would care enough to make the most of a third chance.</p>
<p>I think it’s time to get a job and earn enough to pay for one or two classes of community college. It would give you a chance to show that you can succeed and it would probably make wasting your tuition money a less attractive option. Then when you’ve shown that you will make good use of your own money you’ll be able to make a better argument that you are worth someone spending their money on you.</p>
<p>Honestly, this is slightly ridiculous. You didn’t work hard enough plain and simple; and if you did work hard enough, then obviously the college environment is to academically challenging for you. </p>
<p>Go to a community college and try again. Or a trade school.</p>
<p>not necessary at all. no one asked you for your condescending judgments about the person or their situation</p>
<p>anyway, OP, I was in this situation before. What happens (at least to me) is that you get an email from someone in the financial aid office after the academic year is over saying that you’ve been placed on financial aid warning and you only get a max of 2 warnings until you’re ineligible for financial aid period. Thats my guess what will happen, unless your school is different; however, don’t confuse this with academic probation/separation. What you should do is get a really good appeal letter going, telling EVERYTHING that happened during the year and explain your goals and other things. Convince them that this was just a freshmen screw up and you’re getting your life on track.</p>
<p>also, like pierrechn said, take classes at a CC over the summer. get familiar with the material and come back to school in the fall and ace those classes.</p>
<p>Dont worry you’re fine. Dont let anyone on here make you feel bad or try to make you feel worthless because of your situation. Realize your mistakes and go to your next year with a mission!</p>
<p>You know what gets me? People like the OP get all this scholarship money and opportunities while many middle-class students with high GPAs and great work ethic like me get NADA. I have seen two people screw up big time with FULL-RIDE scholarships, and it just doesn’t seem fair to me that so many undeserving people get money while more deserving people are left to take out loans and fend for themselves.</p>
<p>To the OP, you should probably just go to community college. A 1.7? What were you doing, partying this whole time? Or were you just being lazy?</p>
<p>^^ Ill agree to that to a certain extent. Some people are like that. the thing is, however, that we dont know anything about the OP or those people so we cant judge them at all. Maybe they did just party and not give a flying crap about school. Maybe they had family issues or other things. Point being is that we dont know and we cant judge those people too harshly.</p>
<p>I am with you about people who work hard getting nothing. 100%</p>
