Usually your SAP policy is online, in the student handbook. Google for it, and read and understand it.

If you don’t meet SAP you can’t get federal aid. I don’t know how it applies to GI, but no Pell, no loan can be given until you are back in line, so you have to self pay until then. Ask what benefits you are wasting. All these have limits. You can only get them for limited time so try not to waste benefits on failed semesters. Go to class, get help early and often.

p.s. I forgot you could and likely will be put on academic probation too. That sholld be in there student handbook.

Also, be sure to save your benefits for the last 2 years when a 4 year college is more expensive. It might make sense to self pay for a while to preserve those benefits for later. Otherwise it might be hard to find the money to pay to finish. Work it out on paper how many semesters you have.
