@mom2collegekids - That is true, I plan to transfer to Fresno State afterwards… maybe I should talk to my parents about saving it for than. I didn’t know there was a limit to the benefits.

@Catmatmc - My academic probation for my community college says that I must retain a 2.0 GPA after every semester. After all this failing semester, I still have above 2.0 cumulative GPA (barely, around 2.1-2.2). But, I’ll still ask if I’m on it and ask what my next steps are.

@Erin’s Dad - Thanks, I’ll tell my parents about it. Like I said, I want to transfer to Fresno State and that will most likely cost more. And I think this semester’s classes are around a few hundred dollars.

@Sopopoi - Oh, okay, that is true. My community college is right near our Naval Base, so hopefully a few counselors will know about it or at least point me to someone who will know. And yes, I DEFINITELY will turn my grades around this coming semester. Thanks for your input, I keep getting encouraged to save my VA benefits for when I transfer. This semester’s classes I’m taking are a few hundred dollars, so, I will ask my parents about it. We don’t know much about benefits, so, my dad (the veteran) thinks that the benefits will keep paying my way through college.
