<p>Ok so i'm a community college student in upstate newyork.
I started off the year well at least for the month of september anyway.
then things started stir up my my father whom i stayed with at the time. so i spent a lot of mmy time trying to help him out (time, money etc.) to pay off legal fines in what not. with that said i was doing well in most of my classes and then after not being able to study correctly. mainly due to not knowing how on to of helping my family i began to get set back and i started missing one classes which turned into a complete failure of school because i haven't been to classes since lat october...People always ask how I'm coin my parents don't necessarily get what has happened they think I'm just a failure. I was more than capable of doing well. now with a few weeks left and the Community college rules of missing six classes you get an FX failure by absentees. on top of failed exams of 0 and hw n what not. i tried to sit down with my advisor but he wouldn't show me the time of day so now i don't have any credible sourcing for my problem.. I need to go back to school in the spring. low income family which brings about another problem. Financial aid. because i failed my first semester do i lose all aid or do you go on academic probation. I've been trying to get answer but I don't where to look. or should i get a job so i can pay back my aid or way in community college. Also more importantly can i email someone at the school to find out what my consequences are and how i can move on from them. I just need answers.</p>
<p>You will probably be on probation and not lose all aid right away. Talk to the Financial Aid office about this as soon as possible.</p>
<p>Ok will do thank you for your straight forward help.</p>
<p>You may be able to get Academic Renewal, which wipes out the bad grades. However, it usually can only be used once for a chunk of consecutive semesters–so don’t use that option up too early in your process if you still qualify for Financial Aid right now even with your bad semester.</p>
<p>College is the kind of activity that doesn’t have much leeway for dramatic life problems. You need to decide if you have the time and attention to pay to college or if you need (or want) to be spending your time with your family issues instead. You can’t do both college and lots of family drama at the same time. It rarely works out for the college side. Sometimes it is better to get into a stable situation and/or work on putting up appropriate relationship boundaries first before going back to college.</p>
<p>As for getting info from your college, sometimes emails and phone calls work–but often it is best to go in person. If the first person you talk to doesn’t have clear answers, ask another person. Be polite and very clear about your questions.</p>
