I’m a 41-year-old “first-time” college student, I recently finished my Spring quarter (2016/2017 academic year) classes, I was taking 12 credits and I failed one of the classes (2 credit course), I also ended up getting a “W” in a 5 credit class I dropped after a few weeks (I dropped the 5 credit class and picked up a 4 credit late-starting course so I would still be a full-time student for financial aid)
.
I’m worried about my future Financial Aid because in 2015 I began attending classes at a different (not the same CC I’m currently attending) community college (14 credits). I received Federal student loans and a Pell grant but had then due to some problems in my personal life I had to stop attending classes (I just stopped going, I didn’t formally withdraw). I got a letter from the school stating I needed to complete 6 credits out of pocket before I would be eligible for federal aid again. My loans became due (about a year or so later) and I signed up for one of the repayment plans (Income based I believe, I wasn’t required to make payments because of my low income my monthly payment was set at 0.00 (so the loans have never been delinquent).
I’m in a better place in my life now so I registered at a different community college (2016/17 academic year) and was awarded Financial Aid (student loans and Pell grant) and as I mentioned above I just recently finished Spring quarter. I’ve been awarded Financial Aid (loans and Pell) for this school year as well (2018/2019) and have already registered for Summer and Fall classes.
Is there any chance now that my aid will be canceled due to the classes I stopped going to at the first CC I went to? Wouldn’t this have been noted already and I wouldn’t have been awarded aid or how does it work?
