<p>I am a 19 year old mother of a two year old. The 2014 spring semester. I had gotten a new job working 70hrs a week at a factory tryin to make ends meet. While workin I had little to no time for studying and my grades lowered and failed to meet the requirements. I was curious on if the school could deny my appeal knowing that I’m a teen mom. On my 4th semester in school. I know most of the time teen moms get a lot of help to go to school so can anyone help me please? </p>
<p>Give it a try. No harm in so doing. However, you are going to be a young mom with a young child trying to make ends meet for a while. This is not necessarily a situation that is going to change for you. The appeals I’ve seen that are most successful are when sudden issues arise that are now resolved. </p>
<p>I agree…give it a whirl.</p>
<p>BUT…free advice here. I cannot see how you can continue to work SEVENTY hours a week, attend college AND be the parent to a two year old child. There just aren’t that many awake hours in a week to do all of this well. </p>
<p>You might consider going to school part time.</p>
<p>Do you have any extended family with whom you can live while attending college? You also need to figure out how to cut costs because working 70 hours a week is insane for a college student…and a parent.</p>
<p>Of course the school can deny your appeal. Merely being a teen mom is not going to relieve you of the obligation to do well in your classes, though it may mean that attending college may not be in the cards for you at this point in your life.</p>
<p>Any successful appeal should include an explanation of why the student did poorly and, more important, a plan for how to fix things. In your case, it would seem that cutting way back your work hours to allow for adequate time to study would have to be part of the plan, and if you must work that much to make ends meet, you’ll have no way to convince anyone that you should be given a second chance. </p>

I don’t know what kind of help you’re talking about, but you would have to speak to your adviser or someone in the office of the dean of students to see if any special support is available to you.</p>
