i lost my financial aid

<p>I lost my financial due to my grades. Before I can get it back I will have to pay for atleast 6 credit hours and of course maintain good grades. I tried that but was .5 points from the requirement. Now I have 2 semesters that need to be paid. Is there anything that could help me pay for my schooling until I get my financial aid back?</p>

<p>A job… :frowning: Or your parents. Sorry, no other suggestions from here.</p>

<p>Job and or parents is the correct answer. There is no money fairy and magical thinking won’t help. You solely got yourself into this situation and you will need to work at a job and save to get yourself out.</p>

<p>Attend class? Study? Compete given assignments?</p>

<p>I tried that but was .5 points from the requirement.</p>

<p>this bothers me.</p>

<p>You got yourself in trouble, and was told that you needed to complete 6 credits to get back on track. You then took 5.5 credits. Huh? Why would you not take enough? </p>

<p>Work this semester and find out if you can take a 1 credit course over the summer to get to the 6 credit mark. If so, then working over the summer and taking a 1 credit class should be rather easy.</p>

<p>Keep in mind that if you’re receiving tax-payer provided aid, you should feel obligated to do well in school so that you’re not wasting the money that other people worked hard to earn and provide for you.</p>

<p>I’m going to guess that the grades were 0.5 below what was needed to be in good academic standing.</p>

<p>Either you pay or your parents pay. Until you can prove to the university that you are a good risk, they are not going to fund your studies.</p>

<p>Go to class, complete and turn in all assignments, go to office hours with your instructors and clarify information…and get a tutor to help you. In other words, do what you need to do to get decent grades.</p>

<p>What alot of people do is judge you right off the back assuming you were careless and didn’t do what you were supposed to do, disregarding the fact that there could’ve been obstacles and things that make it harder on you and your studies. I already know that I have to work and save, I was looking for information that I didn’t know, like a boost or anything for that matter. But yea thanks…</p>

<p>No one was judging you we were simply giving you the facts.</p>

<p>I agree I think the OP meant he was .5 below the GPA needed not that the OP was 1/2 credit below what he needed to take. But OP perhaps you could clarify. I’m not understanding the two semester you need to paid either. Is this 2 semester you already took or 2 new semesters. If you “owe” money, how much do you owe?</p>

<p>2 semesters I already took…i wasn’t able to register this semester due to those circumstances. And yes by .5 I do mean my gpa</p>

<p>Perhaps, if you cannot maintain the GPA necessary, right now, you might consider taking some time off and working until you figure out what it is you want to study and why. A lot of ambivalent students become more interested once they know why they are studying what it is they are studying. </p>

<p>Good luck to you.</p>

<p>How much do you owe?</p>

<p>Do you have a job now?</p>

<p>About 2,000…and not at the moment. I’ve been trying for months but there’s not too much around here. Thinking about relocating.</p>

<p>It just might not be the right time for you to go to school right now. Nothing wrong with that. I’m just sorry you are going through this torture to come to that point. Hurts, I know. A lof of people need to take some time before embarking on a direction, and may have to take in smaller bites than what you’ve tried to take. Start looking for other things to do, and for work. Give it a little time, and then pick up what you need to do. Hugs.</p>

<p>cptofthehouse and poetgrl, that was the much needed advice I was looking for. Thank you</p>

<p>A balance of $2,000 doesn’t seem insurmountable, good luck with the job search.</p>
