<p>So, here's the deal. I started at a local CC last semester with high hopes. I was taking 4 classes, dropped 2 of them and was put on academic probation. I failed my first semester of college. I talked to a counsler and I had a plan laid out for this semester.</p>
<p>However, I was taking a biology class that required lab time every week. If you missed 3 labs, you failed. So, I missed 3 labs due to work. I tried talking to my professor, she basically said I failed and there was nothing she could do, so I withdrew from my course. Talking to my academic counselor I learned that I would be put on academic suspension for the next year due to not meeting my financial aid requirements. </p>
<p>My questions is, what do I do about this? I plan on telling my mom soon. (My college is paid for by financial aid.) and then what? I'm going to finish up this semester and go talk to a financial aid counselor to see if there isn't anything I can do. (Appeal, etc.) I take full responsibilty for failing/not doing well. I enjoyed my freedom too much, didn't study enough, etc. </p>
<p>At this point, my plan is to finish up at the community college I'm at. Go to a technical college and start in a program there. (Probably paying out of pocket.) Get that done, and eventually go to get my B.A. </p>
<p>So, what should I do for now? What can I do? My college future isn't entirely ruined is it? Any advice is greatly welcomed. Please, no mean comments, I know I effed up.</p>
