If that doesn’t work and you have less than two years college, you might try to go gang-busters at a local community college for one semester (with easy courses that you can transfer credits from to Auburn) and thus pump up your GPA. The good thing about community colleges is they are cheap and you can get your first 2 years at them and transfer to a 4-year college and get the degree from the 4-year college (just the same as if you had gone all 4 years there).

Best of luck to you.

Oh, consider this also: Look up Excelsior College on the Internet—this is a state college in New York. Its credentials are as good as any university in the USA and you can take and apply coursework from any accredited college or university to Excelsior College’s curriculum for the degree you seek. (When it was referred to as Regents College, it was run by the NY State Department of Education. My BA is from Regent’s College, and I went on and took education courses in Texas, where I have always lived, and got my Texas teaching certificate.) They will also apply advanced placement tests, as well as test scores from Graduate Records Exams, GRE, to the degree plan. There is no New York residency requirement nor do you have to attend classes in New York. You stay put, take courses that fit the degree plan you chose, and Excelsior maintains your transferred records until you qualify for their fully accredited degree. DO NOT CONFUSE WITH EXCELSIOR UNIVERSITY!!!

You will be on academic probation for your GPA being so low, but you can appeal the decision to deny your financial aid. You will, again, have to fill out some paperwork at your financial aid office, and let them know the reasons for your grades falling. I have done this before when I was really sick, and have not had any problems with it.
