Financial aide suspension

Paying for College
1

I just found out I am on financial aide suspension at my university I was put on academic probation but I did well and now off of probation my GPA is a 1.8 as the spring classes finished . But decided to take community college classes as a guest student summer session 1 and I’m doing better but financial aide for the next year fall classes im on financial aide suspension my question will my summer classes and I only get credit not grades will get my financial aide back or can I get financial aide if I transfer 1 yr to community college or should I go back to university and will I qualify for financial aide for the fall with passing summer session my accumulative is 1.8 GPA but my academic is a 2.0 and better I’m confused what to do because I just didn’t adjust first semester but did much better 2nd semester

You need to contact your original school to find out. There are no hard and fast rules that I know of. Have you checked with your original school to see if they will take your new grades?

First step is to read and understand the policies for Satisfactory Academic Progress at your regular college. The rules for each colleges can be a little different. You can google for it or find the student handbook online to see how they calculate SAP. Hopefully it will mention summer classes, but maybe not. They will also have an appeal process.

So if you are suspended you can appeal and provide the additional information and transcripts of the summer classes that you passed and you can show that your second semester was better and the steps you have been taking to improve your performance.

If you can’t get your aid back for fall you would have to be self pay there. But you can look at the community college SAP and see how they will calculate it. They may have a different policy that lets you get your aid back. Basically at any college you have to be making meaningful progress toward a degree and completing a certain amount of credits with a certain level of gpa or else you have to pay yourself until you can show that you meet the SAP.
