It's my understanding that when you have withdrawls on your record you must pay for one semester on your own to qualify again. I have done that, but is there a minimum unit requirement, and does it have to acredit towards a certain major or degree? The course that I took was credit/or no credit-pass or no pass; usually for people who dont assess for english 101, but i just took it for a warm up. Does anyone know?

I never heard of paying for one semester on your own to qualify again. I do know that if you have too many "W" or withdrawals/late drops that it will effect your financial aid, but you must accumulate a certain amount. Also if you are a full time student and you do not complete the minimum 12 units you need to notify financial aid with an explanation. Also depending on how low below the required units you complete, you may have to repay them back all or a portion of the Aid awarded to you.

My ex, who claimed bankrupcy 3 years ago, is now carting aroud his new visa! He had maxed out 6 cards at that point and was in debt about 30K. Tell me how he got another card??? Funny thing is that when I applied to get a card, I was declined even though I made more than him. I'm quite certain if I was a man earning the same salary, I'd have several cards by now.

you need official transcripts stamped by your university.  most universities will be able to transfer the bulk of your credits.  the problem is usually variations in how schools number their courses.  so you'll have to go talk to someone to clear up any doubts as to what required courses you've completed.

I just got into a nursing program at BYU and what they do is if you have anything on your record, you just have to write a paper saying how you've overcome your problem. It'll for sure show up on your record, If they ask for a paper/explanation, just say that you took some rehab classes and haven't driven drunk since and don't plan to in the future. you should be fine, good luck!

Yes it is.  Fill out the FAFSA and talk with your school.  It seems that the limitation is whether you have been convicted of drug related offenses.

At my university (and I would imagine at most others), it is definitely considered cheating, and sanctions for doing it range from a reprimand to losing credit or being removed from the university.\n\nSpecific quote: "Multiple submission - submitting the same paper or oral report for credit in two courses without the instructor's permission; making minor revisions in a paper or report for which credit has already been received and submitting it again as a new piece of work." \n\nIf you're just reusing old material, you're not actually learning anything from the course, are you? (That'd be the general you, not a specific you!) It's often in the process of writing an essay that I figure things out and finally "get" them :)\n\nEdit: just noticed that someone else gave the same site - I wasn't expecting another answerer from my university!

If you withdraw from the class, don't specify that you are withdrawing because you are failing. That would be better than taking the class and fail. Also if it seems that it is more of the subject than the professor is the reason why you aren't doing as well, you may want to take the course during the summer. Most college courses taught during the summer are easier.

If you were solely disqualified for FA because of GPA, it's going to depend on wheither you meet their minimum number of credit hours to be eligible and GPA.\n\nAnyone can reapply for FA at anytime if their family or household situation changes drastically. Say a parent losses their job or parent dies...   You can be eligible  and still not receive additional help if all FA has been issued to other students.  But that doesn't happen too often.  But the saying "The Early Bird, Catches The Worm".  It's true with FA, apply ASAP and get your FAFSA done!

Uhm, yeah but there's a lot more to it than that. You still have to study a standard curriculum. You can substitute SOME life experience for credit, but this usually involves a long petitioning process whereby you must present some evidence that it substitutes for a class.

Financial Aid is almost always affected by a student's suspended status (You do mean suspended as opposed to "probation," right?).  In order to be eligible for Federal Student Aid, a student must maintain "Satisfactory Academic Progress" (SAP) as determined by his/her school's SAP policy. At most schools, this means that you need either \n\n(a) pass a a certain percentage of your classes, \n(b) pass a certain number of classes, \n(c) maintain a certain GPA or\n(d) a combination of 1 or more of the above\n\nSince you were already suspended (instead of being placed on probation), you should have been (or will soon be) notified of the affect that this action has on your financial aid. Quite simply, if you aren't in school, you can't receive financial aid.  But when you come back to school, if you do well enough to maintain Satisfactory Academic Progress, you will once again be able to obtain federal aid (and probably anything else, too). \n\nKeep in mind that, for suspended students, regaining "good standing" usually entails attending school for a little while (e.g. a semester) *without* the assistance of financial aid.  You need that first semester to prove that you have made SAP.\n\nSo, to "get yourself back on track," you will need to focus on your academics above all else.  Now that you understand *why* you did poorly, you have a chance to improve. Sometimes taking a break is good, but don't stay away too long.  As soon as you are able, petition to return from suspension. Only once you bring your grades up can the financial aid issues be resolved. \n\nWhile you are out of school, you can complete the FAFSA (just so your school has it on file), but don't expect to get any federal or state aid until your school tells you "yes, you have made satisfactory academic progress."  By all means, apply for outside scholarships for the semester that you plan to return. Check their eligibility criteria to see if the awards are need-based or merit-based and whether the organization will require SAP (some do).\n\n---------------------------\n\nAll that said, many schools will also have procedures in place for you to appeal a financial aid suspension/probationary status. In general, in a letter appealing a financial aid probation/suspension, you would probably want to explain why you failed your class and what you plan to do to remedy this situation. If there were personal issues that contributed to your less-than-ideal performance, mention these (if you are comfortable doing so).

u only pay on the loans that have been disbursed to you. Your extra loans will go back to the lender.As long as you are taking 6 hour (half time) you will get part of your loan..about half of what you had the first sem. I hope I answered that..I had a little problem understanding what you were asking...first you said u can't go to school,,at the end you said you are taking classes. You CANNOT use the second disbursment to pay for the fees for the first sem.

When I studied abroad in England we had a blind system.  We were not allowed to put our name on them.  There was a little kiosk where you scanned your I.D. and the course I.D. and it printed 2 little receipts.  One got stapled to the paper you were handing in and you kept the other (as proof you turned in the assignment).  Then the papers got dropped off at a central office where they were sorted and given to the professors.  Grades were finalized before they handed them back in class.

just fill it out once but make sure that you do each school's supplements if they require it\n\nlike, three schools you are applying to asks for common app - you fill out the application once but you have to fill out three supplements because you are applying to three schools.\n\ni think it also combines all the payments to one big bill as well.

You don't have to start completely over and I wouldn't advise you to do so. Since you already completed your core classes, you don't have to start over. You can still attend night classes without starting over and would need to inquire at the college or university of your choice about the class times and schedule. You definately don't want to be classified as a freshmen again since it sounds like you have transferrable credit. Good for you and good luck!

I am in the same process myself. After you fill out the application, someone from your college should contact you to basically verify all the info and let you know how much you are going to get. Most colleges do not give you the money until the first day of school. Your tuition comes out of the money first and then they will usually cut you a check for the remainder that you can use for books, ect. I started my app the last week of October and the financial aid office at my college said there would be no issue in getting it on time for Winter quarter. You should contact the financial aid office at your college, they are paid to help you out and answer your questions.

Three questions:\n1) If you drop the class will you fall below the required number of credits to keep your financial aid in future years?\n2) If you retake the class will they drop your C out of your GPA (some schools do it one time for each class)\n3) Is there a limit on the number of withdrawals you are allowed to have?\n\n\nOnce you answer these questions, it will be easier to decide.

i was waiting for my financial aid award letter last fall and when it didn't come i called the financial aid office at my university.  they said i am not eligible for financial aid because i am an illegal alien.  i said i and NOT an illegal alien, i was born in Minnesota.  their response was to tell me to bring in my green card showing that i was born in Minnesota and then i would get my money.  apparently they think Minnesota is in a different country or something.  makes me really debate the value of my degree from this institution.
