For federal financial aid you have to maintain certain levels. According to the info at my daughter's school these are the rules for keeping financial aid
Quote:
Satisfactory Academic Progress Requirements-
1. Not exceed a maximum number of hours to complete the degree program ; AND,
2. Maintain a cumulative Graduation/Retention Grade Point Average ; AND,
3. Successfully complete at least 75% of the total cumulative hours attempted. This includes all courses attempted at any college or university. For example, a student who has attempted a cumulative total of 55 hours must have successfully completed at least 41 credit hours to meet the requirement (55 X .75 = 41.25; round decimals down to whole numbers).
Total Hours Attempted GPA Required
0-30 .............................1.70
31 or more......................2.00

I believe this applies to all classes taken at all schools. If you are close to qualifying you could try taking some community college classes to get your GPA and % up to where you would qualify (assuming you qualify on a financial basis). Also I have read that it is possible to appeal and also to get aid on a probabtionary basis but do not know how it works. You would need to discuss it with the financial aid people of your school.
