I was put on academic probation last year. My father had died, and I was just enrolling into classes to give me something to do rather than sulk. This has proven to be a bad idea, for I was just attending classes when I wanted, causing my grades to plummet. I went from a 3.9 GPA to 2.175.
Being off my medication wasn't a good idea either, for I just sat at home, doing nothing. I did take action by writing an appeal letter in which I also attached a letter from my psychiatrist. They approved my appeal, and I re-entered school. It didn't get any better, for I just retook two classes that quarter -- ones that I have previously failed. I was doing well again, but it was short-lived.
So, I took two quarters off to get mind straight. I moved out of the house, haven't missed a dose of my medication, and I am doing extremely well again. I know I am not going to relapse this time, for my surrounding environment is much more positive this time around. However, my financial aid has yet to be disbursed, and I am taking courses without any way to pay for them.
My academic progress goes up for review within the next two weeks. I should hear something by the 9th of July. If it isn't satisfactory, what can I do? Any help is appreciated.
