<p>At my college, if you are on academic probation, your credit limit is 7 credits(2 classes). You can appeal to exceed the limit of credits. If your appeal is granted, you must take a 1 credit course/seminar(750 minutes, so it's not throughout the whole semester) that will help you acquire skills for academic success. It will teach effective study habits, and information about college resources. The seminar includes individualized advising.
I'm on academic probation. I was planning on taking 3 classes in the spring, but now I'm not sure whats gonna happen. I'm still in high school, I'm taking classes at college to finish early. I do not attend the high school at all though. I'm just at the college. I think that if I try to appeal my credit limit, the seminar I will have to take will be a benefit to me because I am technically still in high school, and need to change the way I study from high school studies, to college studies. But I'm scared that my parents won't let me appeal, and have me drop a class.
What do you think is best for me? What would you do?</p>
<p>I would take the academic skills seminar no matter what.</p>
<p>Why are you in such a rush? Maybe taking a lighter load and spending the extra time to develop your study skills would be a good thing?</p>
<p>And maybe you should return to high school full time in order to give yourself the time to mature…then college will not be so overwhelming for you to handle.</p>
<p>Well I realize that maybe trying to finish early was not the best choice for me, but I would rather have this happen to me now while I’m still young, then next year when I’m actually a college freshman. Plus I only need 1 more credit from the high school.</p>
<p>You are a senior in high school. Graduating early doesn’t make sense because you will be graduating at the end of the academic year anyway. Rather than deal with the college mess, why don’t you consider finishing up your high school senior year normally and graduate with the class. Looking back at your posts, your high school grades were not stellar enough to warrant attending college early. Academically and emotionally, you could have benefited from another full year of high school.</p>
<p>What’s done is done. Don’t continue with the college courses right now. You don’t want to rack up more college credits that will tank your GPA even further. It’s very difficult to bounce back from multiple semesters with less than stellar grades. Go back to the high school. Finish up the year and graduate with your senior class. Work on your reading, writing, and math skills over the summer and try college courses again in the fall.</p>
<p>Emotionally, I was not in a good place in high school. The reason I did not do so great in high school was because I was depressed. The reason why I’m not doing too good in college is because I went from taking one class in the spring, and one class over the summer, to four classes in the fall. It was too much for me.
I’m still gonna take classes at the college, but I’m taking three and taking a college success seminar.
When I took my first college class in the spring last year, I was junior. I got a C+ in the class. I heard from my college professor and my teachers at the high school that a C+ in a college class for a 17 year old with a learning disability isn’t bad. And in community college, a D is passing. So I could have gotten a D.</p>
