<p>I attend a community college and Fall 2013 will be my last semester. Starting Spring 2013, I will transfer to a university (FSU). For 2013-14, I have been awarded a Pell Grant of $4,500 for my community college. That amount was split equally between two semesters. However, I only have one semester left, so I've added FSU to my FAFSA. </p>
<p>For my last semester at my community college, I have registered for 3 classes (4 credit hour each) which would give me full-time status. The first two classes will complete my AA degree. The third class will assure my transfer eligibility.
However, my school considers my third class as "non-compliant". They will only consider the classes that I need for an AA degree. To me, that makes no sense, because the third class is also crucial for my education. Without it, I would not be able to transfer. So I will end up with a total of 8 credit hours, which according to my school, will reduce my term awards to a half. Out of $2,250 I will receive $1,125, which is merely enough to pay for my 3 classes.
I have thought about registering for another 4 credit-hour class, but they would probably be listed as non-compliant as well. What can I possibly do in this situation?</p>
