Should I take a semester off?

Applying to College

<p>Good afternoon,</p>

<p>This past Saturday, I was informed that my classes were being dropped due to nonpayment of tuition and fees. Right now, the money I owe to be reinstated is nowhere close to what I have. My parents, in addition, are going through financial hardships themselves, and my conscience would kill me for taking money from them that they virtually do not have. Facing late fees for reinstatement plus a past due balance for a summer class I took last semester, should I just let it be? Take the semester off, and build up a savings account before heading back to school in spring? </p>

<p>I only intend to take this semester off, as I currently have about 79 credits before Fall 2012, which can count as being ahead, but not by much.</p>

<p>While this was not the turn I was expecting life to take me through, I feel that at this point it may be the best decision, as the rewards for this may result in even better performance in school upon my return. Thank you guys for your time!</p>

<p>Try calling the Financial aid office and ask to schedule an appointment with a FA officer. Explain your situation (bring records/ tax returns) and ask if there are any emergency funds, or the chance for a new FA review. </p>

<p>Best of luck.</p>
