Leave of absence from santa ana college?

Question

I applied for a pel grant at santa ana college, but i have decided not to go to school this semester. school starts next week, but the pel grant money has yet to "kick in". my dad said that i should take a leave of absence so i won't lose my money. the reason why I'm not going to school this semester is because my dad and i are not getting along very well and im moving out soon, but i will be going back to school next semester. do community colleges even have leave of absence forms?

Answer 1

There's no such thing as a leave of absence from classes at community colleges in California. You should check with the Financial Aid office to determine what will happen with your grant money if you don't take classes. If you get a check, whatever you do don't cash it before you find out directly from the financial aid office.

Sorry about the stuff with your dad. Most colleges offer psychological services to help you deal with personal problems while you're attending college. Don't let life stand in the way of your education. Keep persevering in spite of it because ultimately your education will lead you to a better quality of life.

Go online, look up Santa Ana College's financial aid office and student health center for more information. Good luck!
