<p>Hello. I have gotten my sister-in-law back in college after a 10 year absence. She flunked out when she gave birth to her son. She failed at least 4 classes, and got Cs or Ds in others, and one B. Her GPA is a .65.
The college is a State College, and they have already accepted her into the school again for the fall term of this year. We attempted to register her for a class, but it wouldn’t let her because her GPA was below a 2.0. My question is what classes can she take that will boost her GPA, that she will be allowed to take with a .65?
Also, she has been awarded $5280 in Pell Grant, will her Pell cover the cost of classes she has to pay out of state tuition for, because of failing twice?</p>
<p>It is a little hard to tell what is going on here. If the school has readmitted your sister-in-law, they should let her register. Perhaps she is required to see an adviser first due to the low GPA. She should definitely see/talk to an adviser ASAP and see what the situation is. Same advice for the financial aid question: she should be talking to the financial aid office at her school. Students can lose financial aid due to a failure to progress or because of academic suspension, but again, much more information would be needed about your sister-in-law’s particular situation to answer that.</p>
