<p>My first year of college I attempted 9 credit hours. It was 3 classes that were 3 credits each. I ended up getting sick and flunked my first year. Now I'm on academic probation due to a Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) thingy that the school has something about needing to pass 65% of my attempted credits. I'm on academic probation right now with financial aid and the school financial lady told me that I would most likely go on Suspension with financial aid in January but I need to appeal it in January to get Financial aid again. </p>
<p>I'm wondering since I am taking my failed classes over again in August and another class if there is a way to take enough classes to get off of academic probation by being able to meet the SAP requirement of passing 65% of attempted credit/classes? </p>
<p>I'm trying to figure out how many credits that I need to take in August in order to pass 65% of attempted credits/classes with at least a 2.0 because I don't want to end up on suspension fighting/begging for financial aid with appeals each term. </p>
<p>Thank you for your time. I appreciate you reading this.</p>
<p>THis is something you need to ask your school about, however, as long as you can get your gpa up (at my school you have to be above a 2.0) you should be fine.</p>
<p>Thank you for your help. The reason why I didn’t get a medical leave is because when I was admitted to the hospital in 2007 I had blood clots in my lungs. They were nearly all the way filled up in my lungs. I was on my death bed at that point. It was touch and go. </p>
<p>They were going to life flight me to a different hospital at that point if the doctors didn’t see improvement within a certain time frame. Betime I got discharged from the hospital it had been over 30 days. My mom and husband at the time kept telling me to not worry about school that it was taken care of but when I got discharged they told me that my college it was the last thing on their mind to worry about.</p>
<p>So basically nothing got done about it whatsoever. The FA lady told me that the damage was already done since I flunked at the end from failure to withdrawl from the block classes my first year in 2007 so thats why im retaking the classes now in August/fall.</p>
<p>They were block classes so it was a heavy load.</p>
<p>If I’m understanding everything correctly, you failed 9 units, and you want to take and pass u units next semester, such that you pass at least 65% of your units. Then the fraction of units passed is u/(u+9), so
u/(u+9) >= .65
u >= .65u + 5.85
.35u >= 5.85
u >= 16.7…</p>
<p>This means you need to take and pass at least 17 units next semester, which I think is generally a doable but slightly heavy course load.</p>
<p>Say you decide to take u units. Then if your average GPA for these units is g, then your overall average GPA is (g<em>u + 0</em>9)/(u+9), so you need
gu/(u+9) >= 2
g >= 2 + 18/u.
This means that if you take 18 units, you need a 3.0 GPA to get an overall 2.0 GPA.</p>
