<p>I have messaged my instructor who said she would communicate with others at my college but I’m worried that I appeared late with one of the course assignments. I also thought of seeing if I can ask to attend another college as a visiting student, if I can't get back into the course, if they offer it I could be a visiting student with at least one more course</p>
<p>Swim thanks for posting, you are so great! It is so frustrating because you work so hard to apply to a new college and then to make sure financial aid is all set. I am continuing the course but don’t know if I was late in the first assignment. I'm glad you communicated with your professor to make it all work! Maybe it will all restore itself next week and that I'm flipping out for no reason. </p>
<p>Thanks so much.
Everything will either be smoothed out or it will be a mistake to avoid next time
Good luck with everything Swim!</p>
<p>I might need to see if I can use tuition insurance. I wonder if this could apply.</p>
<p>I think it seems okay now, not sure I have a problem anymore.</p>
<p>I’m confused. Are you continuing to participate in the class or not? Did you drop the class? If you are considered a no show, then yes it may affect your aid and you may have to repay it all as you will below the required half time enrollment. At my school you would still have to pay for the class unless you dropped it yourself by the 100% refund date.</p>
<p>I recently ran into this myself. I had to do all online classes as my husband was receiving medical treatment at a hospital 600 miles away and we were traveling back and forth extensively then had to live there for 6 weeks. One class i signed up for had no grades whatsoever other than 3 exams and a HUGE project that I quickly realized would be impossible for me to complete with the situation I was in. After discussing it with the prof and the FA department, I stayed in the class and completed the first exam (quite late as the date i was originally scheduled to take it we found ourselves unexpectedly in the midst of a battery of unexpected medical tests). Once I took the exam and did well enough to show I had been participating, I was able to drop it without affecting my FA. Otherwise they would have considered me to e enrolled only for 9 hours from day 1 and all my FA would have been retroactively adjusted (including 2 scholarships that required full time enrollment and I would have lost 100% of). I would have had to pay back a bunch of money, and I still had to pay fir the class of course. FWIW, it was the prof who had to sign the forms saying whether I had participated in the class. I worked just as hard on that exam as on any I have ever taken and got an A, to show i was indeed participating.</p>
<p>Swim thanks for posting, you are so great! It is so frustrating because you work so hard to apply to a new college and then to make sure financial aid is all set. I am continuing the course but don’t know if I was late in the first assignment (which would be a financial aid matter) or they didn’t see me post the first day. It sounds like you pulled through a challenging situation, I’m glad you communicated with your professor to make it all work!
The professor heard my intent to keep with the course so I’ll see what happens. Maybe it will all restore itself next week and that I’m flipping out for no reason.
I’m not really a ‘no show’ I guess I appeared late, or my first assignment didn’t go through on time, then to express interest in joining again after receiving financial aid. It’s a very strange problem I don’t know how I got myself into this.</p>
<p>It is a little unusual. I have not heard of a school automatically un-enrolling people from a class if they are “no shows” or submit an assignment late. The schools I am familiar with, the responsibility to un-enroll or submit assignments on time lies with the student. If they don’t show up or submit late work, they just get lousy grades.</p>
<p>I hope by communicating with your instructor you can get it all sorted out.</p>
<p>Thanks so much.
Everything will either be smoothed out or it will be a very costly mistake, money that I didn’t have to loose.</p>
<p>It is so sad that sometimes academics is pressured by the financials, like you said you would have had to repay your scholarships.
Good luck with everything Swim!</p>
