so i went to fianiaical aid today to be like "hey so i did good in my summe class so im not suspended anymore and you can proces my financial aid now," and they were like "oh yeah but it doesnt matter cuase you have to pass 24 credit hours every year and yu noly passed 23 so you cant get any financial aid not even loans"
i'm trying to appeal it but i dont know how likely that is so i might be done with colelge cause ig id ontget any aid then i cant pay for it and icane just reapply cause still they wont give me aidd till i pass 24 hours in a year or somehgin. i dont know, i dont understand it. but it looks bad. goddamnit.

Wow, I was typing pretty shitty last night. But yeah, the whole situation is pretty ghey. This past spring I finished up with a 1.967. I needed a 2.0 to not get suspended. Had I gotten one third of a letter grade higher, say for example I got a B- instead of a C+, in any class, I'd have been ok. In one of my classes, I was like two tenths of a point away from a grade higher. Actually, when I calculated my grade, it WAS the higher letter grade, but apparently I misunderstood how the extra credit assignments counted and when you calculated it her way, blah blah blah.
So I take summer classes. I intended to take classes the whole summer, but I got mono the first summer session and got incredibly ill and had to drop my 4 hour class that I was making an A in. I couldn't get very much money refunded, so the second summer session I only took one class, even though I wanted two, and, not knowing the 24 hour rule, took a 3 hour class that I was really interested in. And now I have 23 hours when you have to have 24.
So basically, I sent the director of financial aid guy an email asking if there were any way I could appeal it. I have a friend who one time they granted him aid after he wrote this paper promising to make a C or higher in all his classes that semester and telling his goals and why he'd fucked up in the past. So, fingers crossed. Otherwise I can't go back to college and can't transfer cause I'm not in good academic standing and my life will be over.

Québec financial aid system is pretty awesome!
I went back to university last january after 10 years without going to school, no college diploma, i enter into political science as a free student and they gave me the loan and bourse. Now , i enter as a full student because my scores were good, it is a relief because you are only able to have 2 session as a free student.
Anyhow.. wish you good luck!!

thanks mute and, uhh.... fucktop. hopefully something will work itself out. im trying to figure out if theres any conceivable way for me to pay for it myself. and by myself i mean with the help of my mother, but you know, without aid.
if i had been aware of this fact earlier, i could have done more about it. i could have worked more. i've slacked off the last week and a half or so, gave up some of my shifts instead of trying to get extra, things like that. so i could have made more money prior to the start of school. and, well, i have this whole big trip planned to NYC with one of my friends. she already paid for the concert tickets and hotel and i told her i'd pay her my half in cash when i get to her place tomorrow. if i knew that i was actually in desperate need of money, id have not planned this, but i thought i actually had an excess of money for once and was gonna have some fun. its kinda too late to back out, id fuck her over if i did, and the fact is i dont want to. when i was telling her about my situation last night though, she said not to worry about the hotel room, that she'd cover it as my birthday present. so i just gotta pay for my ticket and gas to DC and back.
or i could turn to prostitution.

Hopefully you can ask for double secret probation or something.
Anyway, good luck. If you get another chance, I hope you do well with it. (y)

I appealed a shit decision at my learning institution. Took it pretty far up the chain of command, and was successful. Doesn't really fit here, though.
