Two Days Overdue
So this post should have been written on Wednesday. But I'm writing it now, on Friday night. This is re: the worst day ever post.
Basically, I had my financial aid suspended because I wasn't meeting the Satisfactory Academic Progress guidelines by only having a 50% credit completion rate. Apparently you need a 67%. But my GPA is a 3.67 so that's above the 2.0 I needed. But because I didn't meet one of the criteria, they pulled my funding and I had to withdraw from the class I was taking-or pay the 964$ out of pocket to continue in class.
I had 14 days to write an appeal. On the 14th day I finally got the letter from my doctor telling them that my narcolepsy treatment had caused some problems and the new treatment was working without side effects so my narcolepsy wouldn't be a problem. I sent in my appeal letter, along with the doctor's note and an academic plan.
A week or so later I asked my advisor when he thought the committee would get back to me and he emailed saying I needed to change some things on my academic plan that were wrong. Once I did that and sent it back in (a week ago Thursday) he told me that the SAP committee would review my appeal in full on Wednesday (this past week).
So on Wednesday I got word that the committee APPROVED my appeal and my funding was reinstated yesterday. I am now signed up for terms 1 and 2. I'll be taking the class I had to drop from in June which is intro to creative writing and intro to psych after that.
I'm so excited that I'll finally be going back to school! The only thing is that I'll be on financial aid probation until I finish my academic plan, which is worrisome, but I'll manage.
So that's my update on that.
Goodnight. ♥
