On the 22nd I received a letter from DMACC reminding me that during my last term of enrollment (Fall 2009) my financial aid eligibility was suspended.
Great. I wish I'd looked into this a week ago. I knew from before my financial aid was revoked, but I'd forgotten until now. I have to have my appeal received by the financial aid office by January 6th at 4:30 p.m. I thought, "I have plenty of time.' What I didn't realize is that all the offices are closed from December 23rd to January 4th.
In order to be considered for financial aid again I have to appeal my suspension. In order to appeal I have to write an appeal detailing the circumstances for my failure and provide supporting documentation, outline steps I'll take to ensure future success, and complete an Academic Improvement Plan with my advisor.
I have it all except supporting documentation. I chalk my failure up to many things: depression, mixed up priorities, work. I never saw anyone for depression until after Stella was born. I went consistently for more than a year, though, so I'm hoping Haley will write me a recommendation letter to include. I called her this morning, but she's out of the office until tomorrow. I hope she's not too busy to do it. If I don't get it from her, then I'm afraid I'm SOL and will have to hope it goes through without the documentation. It's unlikely though, as the form to fill out says that appeals received without proper documentation will not be considered at all.
