[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I posted up- thread. The what happens if you get mono question is actually worth asking. How will they work with you? It can be devastating.

In one case I know,the gpa for merit aid fell tiny bit short in physics. It was absolutely clear those were the requirements, she just missed it. The choices the college have were:family could pay full tuition and keep her there. If gpa went up, aid would be reinstated. If student left, took courses at another college to prove themselves, it didn’t count. The improved GPA had to be earned there. Family said not paying and sent girl to state school. They said they felt like college was surprised daughter left and was expecting them to throw in another 20,000. [/quote]

I posted earlier. For ASU, there is appeal for extenuating circumstances, stating medical emergency.  I would have to think mono is that type of circumstance, but that is a good point to ask about.

For others with questions, this is a really good page about ASU maintenence plan and FAQ’s. It is good to compare all merit packages with info like this. 
I like that they allow the first summer session to count as part of your GPA. So there is a way to fix it without losing it. And also only losing a percentage of you still fall behind.

Also, another to look for is to make sure it is for 8 full semesters and not 4 years straight. So you can leave for co-ops if needed.
