Fall Term Analysis

I did attend all of my classes and I did take notes did my quizzes but since I did so poorly in the beginning it held me back from getting the score I needed. Soon after my parents received a letter saying that I had not meet the academic standards to keep one of my scholarships. What added to this was the miss communication between my student advisor, which I was supposed to meet regularly but instead only meet a few times, and it was hard to hear or understand what I needed to do on my account and on my loudcloud, how to make payments as well. Even over the summer she did not inform me if I had passed or if my summer classes were active, she had two emails which I did not find out until recently. My roommates and study process went hand in hand. I am the kind of

I lost my financial aid because my grades did not meet up to the Satisfactory Academic Progress that the school requires. What happened was, there were only two available options for the MATH 152 class during the Summer Quarter of 2015. I chose the night class because the morning class was taught by a teacher I didn't prefer. However, the night class was only two days a week for 3 hours straight. Because of my naivety, I assumed that I wouldn't have any problems with the set up. Around this time, however, was Ramadan, which suspended me from concentration within the class, heavily effecting my scores on tests. Besides this, my grandfather, whom I loved and cherished, had just passed away the month before, on May 17, 2015, requiring 40 days

I have found that in all of my semesters here at FGCU this by far has been the toughest for me to complete. There has been lots of hard work put into all 4 of my courses, two jobs, and my level 1internship this semester and I’ve still found myself falling behind in EDF 4470 Classroom Assessment. After a few late and incomplete assignments, I still felt as though I had a chance to regain focus in this course. Unfortunately for me, however, things began to get worst and I became so far behind that there was no possible way that I would be able to complete each missing assignment and pass this course. Once I realized that I wouldn’t be able to withdrawal from this course because I had missed the deadline, without hesitation I spoke with my course

In the Fall quarter of 2014 at pierce I was still being introduced to this style of learning and the school setting of Pierce College which was a pretty big turnaround for me seeing as my only previous schooling had been public high school. Along with my unfamiliarness with my academic surroundings I was also beginning my first job and had weekly meetings with a counselor.Needless to say, i put too much on my own plate and wasn't able to keep up with it as much as i had hoped to. I had been visiting a counselor to get help on some issues i had been facing with an Anxiety disorder along with issues in my home life ,which had been keeping me from focusing on many tasks. The anxiety was a major issue for me during fall and winter quarter but has since then improved and taken a back seat and is much less of an issue now. I know that none of these are an excuse for my poor grades but it was a heavy influence on how i handled

My goal is to graduate from the University of Tulsa. For a variety of reasons, I need a ninth semester to complete the course work. I am pursuing an Accounting degree and expect to graduate in Spring 2017. Since I became aware on May 9 that I would not have financial aid, I have spoken to advisors in the Business College, Rick Arrington and Ralph Jackson, my accounting advisor Dr. Miranda and Jean Genske of Financial Aid. Additional conversations were with Dr. Cravens, Dean Sullenberger, and Provost Tanaka. Each conversation brought me closer to understanding the gravity of my predicament.

The circumstances that contributed to my inability to meet the required gpa was the fact that the second semester was my first real semester as a student. Throughout the semester I was dealing with the after math of my car accident. I was called by law enforcement staff to testify against the man that hit me. We went to court and the state declared him giulty and was sent to jail because he had no assets to pay my medical bills. The case was solved but my medical bills were not payed by the man that hit me. My family and I cannot offord to pay my medical bills, which added stress to my plate. I carry a big responsibility at home. Due to my mothers illness she is not able to take care of the household, so that responibility is left for me to

Ms. McIntyre sorry to bother, but I’m so stressed out about school. I don’t understand what I did wrong this semester. I was on the SAP appeal and I had to pass all my classes and do study hours each week. I did everything I was supposed and work very hard. To receive an email at 2a.m. saying that I failed my SAP Appeal and will not be eligible for finical aid, so that means I have to do another appeal. With me doing excellent this semester I thought that I wouldn’t have to do another appeal. First it was one of my classes I was afraid I was going to fail but I passed, then being told that I won’t receive any finical aid after spring semester 2016, but we talked about so know I’m okay and ready to finish so I can graduate and then get another

Hopefully, if I am given the benefit of the doubt and the board of the financial aid office contacts my instructor, and hopefully my instructor would vouch that I tried. I never missed class except when I had doctor's appointment and I informed my teacher beforehand if I was going to miss a class. I was also diligent with my homework's and participation. I tried my best and gave the class my all but me failing my exam sealed my faith. Our two exams were worth 50% of my grades and me being a bad exam taker and having the panic attack and running out of my medication before exam week and not being able to get my medication on time, my whole study pattern and exam preparation was thrown out of

Regrettably, this created another financial obstacle; my student loans from the previous semesters did not ensure tuition for the summer and winter courses. After exhausting my resources, such as seeking scholarships and borrowing from family, I borrowed additional monies from student loans to cover the expenditures of the additional courses and books. Concerned with not meeting the financial needs of my everyday expenses while supporting the expense of my college tuition; taking out student loans has aided to fund my schooling and provide for my family, but unfortunately, it has not come without its own financial challenges. In my determination to not to give up because of the financial obstacles, receiving assistance to repay my student loans will help me in overcoming these obstacles, as well as, help in maintaining my current financial situation, and continuing with the efforts of providing for my family. Even though, obtaining my degree has presented financial obstacles along the journey that I have had to overcome, I will continue to make every effort to overcome the challenges and progress with my

As a young child the only school I ever wanted to attend for college was CSU. And when I was accepted into CSU I was ecstatic to attend, especially since I was the first person in my entire family to go to college. As soon as I had reached CSU I decided to try CS as a possible major due to my love for technology and thought programming would be a great step towards a career I wanted to pursue. But unfortunately my grades and GPA had fallen last year and this semester.The reason for my GPA’s drop below a 2.0 was my financial situation with and in school, choosing too many credits for school and working three jobs to pay for school and my apartment.

I could not let the fear of failure impact my efforts to do well the Spring semester so I chose to not let it. I still faced the same challenges as the previous semester but I applied what I had learned from the failure of last semester to the efforts of success to the current semester. I practiced better time management, asked for help from my peers and family when I felt it was becoming too much, and developed the mindset ‘I can’ rather than ‘I do not know if I can’. With the adaption of my methods I was able to complete the Spring Semester on Dean

Another extenuating circumstance to my poor grades was extensively mental. I know I have the competency and the ambition to be a prosperous student here at Central Washington. I am so close to being done and I hate that I have squandered so much valuable time. I was diagnosed with ADD (Attention Deficit Disorder) a year and a half ago, but consequently, do to certain circumstances was unable to get the aid I needed. I figured since I’ve

While the possibility of being unsuccessful in my attempt crossed my mind, I hadn’t foreseen the academic consequences. Because I entered the hospital on finals week I failed all of my finals and subsequently all of my class. Furthermore; due to a mistake by the dean of students, who was assisting me, instead of adjusting my grades to incompletes like he agreed to do, my grades went through as fails. This resulted two things. First I lost my financial aid eligibility, and secondly because of being failed instead of

I took one judicial court class and I knew that my end goal was to become a judge and so I begin looking at law schools, LSAT’s, and the law path I would take after I obtained my bachelors. I also discovered at this time I could graduate early, with a full course load my spring semester I set my graduation date for December 18th, 2015 at 2pm. It, of course, had to be during this time that my grandmother found out she has lung cancer and my mom has liver cancer. I am again faced with taking on the weight of my family and the weight of my school work that will decide my future. Being away at school made this go around of family illness harder to take care of, I could no longer drive everyone to the doctor’s office and be there after they got out of surgery. I was in the middle of giving a speech while my grandmother was having a lung removed; it took careful effort to stay focused in class and on my studies. However, in the mist of all this chaos, I achieved the Dean’s list twice, got great remarks for my Resident Assistant duties and events, and I again proved to myself that times of trial can bring out the best I have to

So my grades suffered and I was expecting to fail calculus 2. So, based on my other grades I needed a boost to keep a 2.5 and felt like I could get it in Chem 125 and asked for an A. I had around an 80 in the class so it seemed like a stretch but I felt that if I got a boost and did well on my calculus final I could at least keep my scholarship. I studied hard and ended up barely passing the class. I ended up with Cs in calculus 2 and physics 1, a B- in epics, and a B in chemistry. This averages with my previous GPA to a 2.4ish and drops me from my scholarship. I really tried to better myself this semester and go the extra mile and ended up doing worse. I will use this as a learning expierence and try to better my time management so that I don't burn out next year and will have my own place to study and work next year so I feel like have a chance to succeed. I asked for a bump in physics (1 point) and they turned me
