My GPA is also like 2.3, so I don’t know if I’ll be able to apply for grants with that kind of a GPA. Honestly dude, if you’re doing this badly while living rent-free, you’re going to do even worse with a part-time job and the fear of homelessness on top of it. I would seriously suggest taking a break for a year or two, and joining the workforce (ideally an IT Help Desk role or something related, but realistically, whatever you can get).
Well, the during the last few years, I’ve been taking 5 courses per semester, and during the fall semester of this year, I also took some courses from 3rd and 4th year despite me only being a 2nd year student. Also, some courses were quite difficult.
I’ve also figured that there’s just no way that I could handle 5 courses per semester + have even a part-time job + take care of myself, so I’ve emailed my academic advising asking if I could take 3 courses per semester and still be considered a full-time student (because there’s benefits to it like having OSAP).
Also, my school doesn’t immediately kick you out if you get bad grades. If you get a cumulative GPA of less than 2.0, then you’re placed on academic probation, until you get a cumulative GPA of at least 2.0. However, if you get a GPA of less than 2.0 for all your courses in your current semester, only then you can get suspended or expelled.
I’ve seen them mention something like that in their job postings, but I’m not sure whether or not if they cover all the tuition or just a part of it.
