SAP Suspension :(

Paying for College
1

<p>Hello everyone!</p>

<p>Sadly my first post and thread here has to be on a subject that makes me look pretty bad. Well anyways I got a notification from my city college that I was put on SAP suspension... This is due to withdrawing back in 2003. My overall GPA still meets the requirements, but not the overall successful completion since I dropped out.</p>

<p>I filled an appeal forums... and the reasoning I dropped out was due to the death of my father. I had to take care of my mother and sister and work 2 jobs which left no room for school. Plus I'll admit ( even though I'm a guy ) his death was mentally exhausting and at that point in my life my head really wasn't in it.</p>

<p>Noww my sister is 18 and I decided I want to make something of my life and have enrolled in college! Haha... I already feel retarded being so old ( soon to be 30... sorta )</p>

<p>Anyways.... now that I've rambled on enough and made myself look worse... What do you think the success rate of getting the appeal passed and getting another chance is?</p>

<p>-Edit-
This is only from the Financial aid department. I'm still able to enroll and participate in classes.</p>

<p>Only your appeals committee can give you an absolute answer, but you should have a good chance of getting an appeal approved. If it is, make very sure you meet all the requirements in the upcoming semester so your aid will continue in the future. It is most important that you do so as a 2nd appeal will likely not be successful.</p>

<p>Good for you for making the decision to go back. No shame in that at all. Good luck.</p>

<p>Haha thanks.</p>

<p>I hope the committee doesn’t look too harshly at me. The semester that I dropped out of was my first and that is why my completion ratio is so low. I took 4 classes and dropped out of 3, and somehow, I have no clue since I didn’t even take the final I passed one with a C giving me a GPA of 2.0. The other classes didn’t affect my GPA since they were P/NP. I don’t have a repeated failure rate over a span of time though. I asked the financial aid specialist person at my school and the only info he’d give me is that it’s 50/50. Man, I tell you my palms are sweating right now waiting for this decision. ^_^</p>
