If you failed three courses, your aid was suspended likely because you did not meet Satisfactory Academic Progress.every school has a SAP appeal process. The thing is…to keep your aid, you are required to pass a certain number of courses in which you enrolled. You got three F grades. If you withdrew from any courses, that is also counted in the SAP criteria.
Your school has an appeals process. But it sounds like this was your “second chance”…as you failed two courses last year too.
Can you pay the full cost to attend this college for the upcoming term?
I would immediately discuss this with your advisor, and maybe the dean of students. If you cannot pay for,the upcoming term out of pocket, you may need to leave the school for the term. What you need to find out is what you have to do to get your aid reinstated.
Some schools will ask that you take time off from their school…and possibly enroll in a community college. But you need to check. CCs are usually affordable if you can commute from home. This would do two things. First…it would give you the chance to I orove your college course grades, and build your confidence. In addition, it would show the college that you can actually take and pass these courses. You would need to aim for A or B grades in all courses.
But you need to talk to someone at your school ASAP. Find out what your options are.
It might also be that you would be better off at a school on semesters (although to be honest…I’m not sure the quarter system is all the issue).
And most important…you need to figure out why you failed three course. What went wrong? Did you get behind on the work? Did you underestimate the amount of study time needed? Did you not seek help soon enough? Did you not really have the underlying knowledge to do,well in these courses?
As an engineering major, you have a lot of applied math and science courses ahead of you. You need to feel confident that the higher level, and more difficult courses are not going to be a problem.
Engineering is a tough major. What made you think this was THE field for you?
