<p>Hello all.</p>
<p>First, I would like to start by saying that I am being denied financial aid due to unsatisfactory academic progress at Wayne State University. My grades are not good, and I've realized what my distractions were that kept me unfocused on my schoolwork and have since tried my best to get my ***** together for myself and for my future. So please, no lectures.</p>
<p>Now, I have a 1.64 gpa at the moment (I know, not impressive) So, I am planning on transferring to Macomb CC to get my gpa up so i can have a good academic standing and so I can receive financial aid when I DO decide to go back to a 4-year school (and it will NOT be Wayne State)</p>
<p>So here's my dilemma: When I transfer, will I able to get financial aid from Macomb, even if I'm currently being denied it from Wayne? Also, when I transfer, will I have to start paying back the few loans I borrowed through Wayne immediately? Or is it that, as long as I'm a full time student, no matter WHERE I go for school, I can wait to start paying back when I graduate? </p>
<p>I'm thinking of applying to Macomb for the spring semester, which would give me 3 months until I start. BUT, as long as I'm enrolled, I'm considered a 'student' of that school so I won't have to start paying back loans, correct?</p>
<p>Thank you all much for your time!</p>
<p>If you are not in good academic standing you will not be able to get FA. You’ll need to pay out of pocket until you reach SAP levels. If you’re still attending college you should be able to defer your loans.</p>
<p>I contacted Wayne State, they said my unsatisfactory academic progress does NOT transfer to another school…?</p>
<p>There are stipulations for statisfactory perfomance in order to get government funds. IF you have applied and gotten government money using FAFSA, that is tracked regardless of where you go by your SSN. Wayne State may not care or track it but the government does if you are getting money from them and want more. You had better read the section on where you are wtih your gpa and credits completed and whether you will be on probation or actually shut out. If you are shut out, you have to pay for a successful slate of classes on your own before you get more money. A pretty fair deal, IMO.</p>
<p>As they mentioned above, what your school thinks of your academics doesn’t get tracked. That’s why if you transfer somewhere else but still meet the FAFSA stipulations, you can still get your financial aid. BUT, if you don’t meet FAFSA’s requirements for financial aid, no matter where you transfer you WONT get any financial aid until you straighten up your requirements.</p>
<p>Also, I would check with the financial aid office WHAT you need to do to get back on track.</p>
<p>I got suspended from my financial aid for 3 semesters and I had to pay 7 classes out of my own pocket in order to get back in track and in good standing with FAFSA. I’m not sure if all states regard government financial aid the same.</p>
