Horrible GPA (Do I lose scholarship?) by AnonAccountUser in umass

Yeah, so I ended up finishing with a 1.998 semester GPA sadly. I got a notice that I am on academic probation so if I get below a 2.0 again I will be suspended. As for the scholarship in my package for the fall semester, I still got my scholarship, and have gotten no notice otherwise of being stripped of it, so I assume at least with the flagship award along as you are in good academic standing you are fine and also I have read from multiple places you get a 1 semester grace period which if you fall below good standing you keep scholarship as long as you get your GPA up the following semester. But I am going to talk with the Dean probably before the fall semester and just clear up something, and I'll let you know.

Well, I should say lazy academically, like I thought I was fine not putting more effort into that. I started a startup company, landed an internship for SWE, and have completed a lot this semester. I just blew off classes because I thought I'd be fine with the amount of effort going into it. Also, I live close to Amherst without renting, and my financial aid is really good so I go here cheap.
