Financial Aid is gone... man....

I checked my financil aid status today and...
Aight, so last semester I got a warning that my financial aid may be taken away due to the credit limit being reached. They never told me what this credit limit would be so I just thought I would be okay for the whole year. Apparently, that was poor thinking. Now, I don't understand why they would take away my financial aid due to this because I got 45 of those credits in high school. But, something tells me this doesn't really affect me.
Correct me if I'm wrong but, financial aid means money given to a student from grants and the government right? This doesn't mean scholarships such as Bright Futures or Pre-paid tuitions right? I would ask the school's financial office, but they closed the day I actually had time to talk to someone and wno't be opening back up until early next year. I won't be able to go at that time because I'll be down with my parents, but I'm guessing I should still be able to call them.
So, do I have much to worry about or no? I mean, I can probably pay for this last semester, but I find it to be bullshit that I have too because they are counting 45 credits they never even paid for.

If all else fails, you could get some kind of loan through a bank or something to pay for it I guess, since it's just one semester. Kind of a pain, though.

But to be honest, I was pretty much just riding the scholarship wave...taking courses, not going to class, and generally skating through while my then-fiancee finished her degree. The warning sobered me up, though, and I finished my degree the next semester.
In short, when I got the warning, it was because I had been academically "treading water," collecting nice checks and taking minimal courses, while I was waiting for someone else to graduate. If this is the case, appeal. Be honest. Tell them you are finishing your degree, and further...actually do so. It worked for me.

This happened to me with my last semester. I just appealed it, since I had already applied for my degree audit. Took all of a couple of days to clear it up.
This may or may not work in your case, but it's worth a try.
i'll try, but it would only cost me like $300 or so if it doesn't go through. Not too big of a fuss now that I know that.
