:(

I'm on financial aid suspension. Unless I come up with a damned good appeal, I'm not going back to school.

I don't know what to do. I've been wrapped up and looking forward to going back to school for months. I started going back to therapy just so I could get over the agoraphobia enough to attend classes. And now I might not even be able to go? This is such bullshit.

And I don't have a good enough excuse for my appeal. They want something like a physical disability or death in the family. :((((((

Ugh. The good thing is that, dealing with the government, often as long as they have a piece of paper with the proper signatures on it, that's all they need. I got more ridiculous exceptions and appeals and "yes, this student really does need this class for her major" things through than I had any right to. The VA alone sent me a "prove you need this class" paper every single semester, and all I had to do was get someone more or less official to sign it and that was good enough for them.

I think all colleges should have a "things you did before you turned 21 do not count" policy for returning students.
