MyLifeSucksSoHar_fml tells us more.
OP here. To further clarify my situation, I'm working two jobs on top of being a full-time student and it's still not enough. The problem is, the government insists that a person with two jobs should have enough to pay for college so they've reduced the amount of money I can get - never mind that since I only have a high school diploma, I can only get minimum wage. Plus, I don't have any credit established - so I can't get any other loans.

Ask your parents maybe?
Ive never thought about it, but are student loans something you could have a parent cosign for? That way you could get what you need but not have to actually ask for the money from them... Good luck OP, I am back at school after taking time off for family, I cant imagine not being able to take your one last class!!
Student loans generally don't need an established line of credit. But depending on where in Florida this is, there are good paying jobs that only need a high school diploma, just gotta find them.
OP something doesn't add up. How many hours do you work a week? Two full time min. wage jobs shouldn't keep you from getting financial aid/student loans unless your parent's income is also included. Maybe you can apply again.. Maybe something was entered incorrectly when you applied? Also, you may be able to get an appeal and inform them that it is your last semester before graduation. Don't give up! You're so close!
Gofundme? And college costs suck. :( America.
The same happened to me. You have to fill out forms and send in a letter telling why you need one more semester. If your grades are good and your reason is valid they should give you one more semester.
start a kickstarter campaign its for a good cause even if u have to skip a semester look up other scholarships banks and random places may help u just gotta research

I don't know much about colleges, but can't you take a temporary break to earn some money and then return for that one semester?
