Yes, Pell is available as long as there’s no earned bachelor’s degree & until the lifetime maximum is used.

Whenever anyone has tried to help you, on these multiple threads, with any helpful advice, there is always a reason for you to reject the ideas, or you mention that you have an illness. It’s taken you 10 years to finally move to a university setting.
So, the first thing you did was sign up for several intense summer courses, obviously without a university advisor’s advice. Most university students don’t do multiple courses in the summer because the timelines are too intense. You are squeezing in a full semester or quarter of work into 6 weeks. No university advisor would recommend that. Hence, your D grade.
I really don’t think you want a career because then, you would have to work. This is something you really don’t seem to want to do.
You can be a Stay-at-home Dad. A lot of men do that and really like it. Our neighbor did this and loved it! I would always know when he was going to the library because he loaded up the Radio Flyer wagon in his truck.
These men run their days like a business. They make out “business” schedules and are busy all week long. They have schedules that include home chores with the kids, museum trips, library “readers” corner, local farm and dairy educators, art classes, cooking, tennis and swim lessons, “Daddy and me” social outings which are available in most cities and towns. If not, you can start one on your own.
There is no crime in not having a standard “job”. Being a stay at home Mommy and Daddy is one of the hardest “jobs” there is anywhere. The rewards are phenomenal!

It also isn’t normal for someone to have sore feet and upon a recommendation of trialing compression socks that they jump to the conclusion they would need to buy 100 pairs. That shows a bit of lack of common sense which could be harmful to patients. I don’t think OP has an IQ problem but rather a hurdle to applying it.
I am not judging anyone for having decision paralysis. I have 2 kids with adhd. I myself have it. I simply think at this point that OP needs to consider mental health as a hurdle to achieving his goals (because he can’t even rationalize or truly verbalize what those goals are).
I totally agree with @auntbea and that there is no shame in caring for children and perhaps finding part time or even volunteer work if they want to contribute to society in a different way.
Moderator closed your other thread regarding your 4 yr college advisor having told you to go back to community college to get an RN.
Frankly, since an RN degree opens up many professional options for you, and since you have all the gen eds and probably some of the pre-RN sciences done, I think that this might not be a bad idea. As an RN, you can always find work of all sorts. Chart review for insurance companies. Sales. Nursing in nursing homes. There are SO many possibilities. Considering the bad start you’ve had in transferring into a BSN program, I’d go get an RN at the community college. It’ll be quick and cheap. After that’s done, and after you’ve worked a bit, if you want to do an RN to BSN program, you can.
No. Moderator (in this case, me) merged the threads together believing there need not be separate threads for every conversation with the advisor. It is far preferable to keep all the conversations in one place so that users trying to help don’t need to reference other recent threads from the same OP.

But even at the community college RN program he will need to not miss class and be on his feet most of the clinical day.
Community college or associates degree RN is not “easier.” It may just be a bit cheaper at this point.

My Uni advisor told me to sign up for 3 classes not me.
You were the users who told me I wasted so much time at community college and should move on 
Plus I started CC in 2019 and finished in 2021 that’s 2 years total. I don’t know where the ten years came from, I did not spent 10 years at CC. Before I was a student, I spent 10 years relaxing and doing other side jobs.
I can apply it, it’s just my English is very terrible. It’s how I type or form paragraphs is my weakest point in life. If a person speaks to me in English, I don’t know how to reply or form a proper sentence. If it’s in another 4 languages I know then yes it’s much easier for me.
I can speak and write in 4 languages very fluently but English no it’s tough.
Reading this chain is painful. Op. You need help. Medical. Mental.
Community or regular college, it won’t matter.
It’s just the same over and over. Surprised you or others keep responding. It’s just a vicious cycle of advice and sidestepping.

I don’t have any mental issues.
Medical issues yes and communication issues of how to respond to others in “English”.
It’s the way I post and form the paragraphs that’s confusing the users, I’m terrible at English grammar, my English mechanics are poor. I should stop replying.
Actually your English is just fine and not the issue.
Trust me if I were to take an English exam I would fail, guess how many times I had to redo my English 101 quizzes, 30 times. Props to my English professor for having unlimited attempts.
Something is not right, I can pass physics, chemistry, biology but English not, how is my brain wired to take on tough classes but basic English no.
Forgot to mention this advisor I spoke to has an PhD in psychology and use to work in the psychology, he read me like a book 
Sigh I feel like I’m a failure and been defeated 
The path of being in exile.
Now what? Are you really in exile from someplace?? You keep adding “stuff” to your story.
If English is giving you that much trouble, find an English class for second language learners for adults. Or get a private tutor.
How long have you lived in the United States?
Your conversational english is just fine.
Im guessing its societal context and inability to read social cues thats more of an issue. Perhaps some test anxiety as well as you do speak multiple languages.
Speaking to a qualified therapist who perhaps specializes in ESL patients may be super useful.

It sounds like you are the primary caregiver of a young child (maybe more than one as you mention ‘kids’ in post #4), a dog, have a significant other who works full-time, you work a part-time job, and own investment property. Is this all correct?
If so, that is a lot on your plate even before you contemplate taking classes. It is ok to not take classes in this scenario, there are only so many hours in the day. Not to mention you would need to find childcare for at least some portion of the day which is tough to find and expensive in our current economy.
It is not surprising given all these responsibilities that you are getting sick if you don’t get enough sleep, or eat healthy meals, or feel constantly under time pressure. Perhaps it’s time to let go of the idea of taking classes right now, until the kid(s) are in school full-time? That could be one option, one that is ok.

As someone that is only fluent enough in a second language to read a menu and get to the bathroom I must say I am jealous of your language skills. What other four languages are you fluent in? Could you possibly parlay that skill into employment?
You’ve done a lot at the CC level. You just need to find a profession to utilize your skills. What does your significant other suggest?
Test anxiety thank you, you took the words out of my mouth
