<p>I made a mess....</p>
<p>I, last year, signed up for community college with the intent to go, but because of road blocks, I was unable to attend. Thinking that since I never went, I would be OK in the future. I thought for some reason that I wouldn't get a fail for some reason. I was wrong and now even though the FASCIA is saying that I am eligible, my CC is not. </p>
<p>I've tried to go to he admissions office and they want to put my on academic probation for a year?... w/o financial aid, before I can become eligible. I feel that maybe they didn't understand what exactly I was trying to say. </p>
<p>Is there a process that I should pursue? A friend is saying that I should go to the dean. But, the other quark in this, is my school is going through some major changes for fear of loosing their accreditation. A lot to the big wigs at the top are losing their jobs. </p>
<p>Thanks in advance for any help :)</p>
<p>Do you mean you signed up for classes and didn’t bother to withdraw from them? If so, then yes you would end u failing the classes. Most schools will not drop you - it is your responsibility to do that.</p>
<p>FAFSA does not decided whether you are eligible for aid. All FAFSA does is calculate your EFC on which aid is based IF you are eligible. The school uses the FAFSA EFC along with other information to determine your eligibility. Every school is required to have a satisfactory academic progress (SAP) policy. If you fail SAP, you are not eligible for aid. SAP includes a requirement to pass a minimum % of all classes attempted. The school is probably saying you are ineligible for aid because you do not meet SAP requirements.</p>
<p>Yes, talk with a Dean. Make a list of the main points you want to covey. I would suggest.</p>
<p>1) You are ready to go to school now and you will attend and complete classes if you are allowed to register. (If this is in fact the case.)</p>
<p>2) You did not know you had to do something additional to drop the classes last year. (If this was your first term at the school stress this, and if few in your family have been to college stress this.)</p>
<p>3) It has already been a year since you committed the error and so your academic probation should be over now. (Since you received all F’s for last year’s fall term then can reasonably argue that you remain on probation until winter term.)</p>
<p>4) What will happen to the the failing grades on your transcript?</p>
<p>5) Stop and recognize that you made a serious error. Students probably unable to take the class because a place was held for you.</p>
