Am I going to jail??
I hope someone answers bevause I feel so scared and stupid :(
Last year I was precluded from university in August. I was still recieving student payments even after, but that's because I forgot to tell Centrelink. I called them and told them in November. I was having mental health issues for a while too hence my preclusion due to failing.
Here is the issue. I was recently asked for my transcript, and when I looked at it just now, I realise that I hadn't even studied full time in 2023. I was enrolled in 5, not 6 which would have been considered full time. This is due to my forgetfulness.
Last year it says I was only enrolled in two subjects which was in the first half of the year I believe. I was planning on taking 2-3 classes in the summer at the end of 2024 to make up for a missed class or so, but that was before I knew I was getting precluded. Now I don't know how to explain it because it just looks very bad. I'm just forgetful and irresponsible.
I also recently started medication and therapy, I don't know if that will prove that I am trying to be more responsible. I'm just worried that they will think I intentionally did this (I didn't). I only looked at my transcript once in the last two years and I barely even looked at it to be honest.
Will I go to jail for being so dumb? :( What do I do?
Update: Wow thank you to everyone who responded. I didn't expect this to get so many comments 😅 I appreciate the reassurances and kindness you all have given <3 I will go to a Centrelink office instead of calling them, plus get documentation from my psych. Thank you once again everyone!!!! ♡♡♡
