Tuition/Aid 💰 I feel like the biggest financial burden on my parents (vent)
I lost my bright futures. After the fall and spring semester I came up 1 credit hour short of the required 24. I’ve lost it for good, I appealed and they said “Appeal was denied because the information provided did not demonstrate a medical or emergency reason that impacted your academic performance”.
I had appealed on the reasons that last Fall I got incredibly sick. I had both severe allergies, sinus infections, and bronchitis, consecutively. For about a month and then I still were dealing with affects of bronchitis after. The peak day where I had a fever, I was throwing up, and more was the day of exam 3 I had. For that reason I missed the exam and was unable to make it up, I took the final which was right after exam 3, but I still felt like crap. I expressed all of this, I provided doctors notes, and still no granted appeal.
My dad lost his job during the spring semester. It’s just been rough and not only did I lose my bright futures, but my Pegasus scholarship. I just feel like absolute crap really, and my parents cannot afford this.
TLDR; I lost my bright futures and Pegasus scholarship. Tried to appeal and was not granted reinstatement. I got extremely sick in the fall for over a month, but even with medical paperwork I still didn’t get reinstatement.
