assistance with plan- continuing student with old credits and terrible gpa

Nope, I'm in Tampa, so HCC is local.

Actually, no. I either went and got an A/B or I didn't and pulled in a WN or F.
Kind of a bonehead move, but it is what it is.

Stuff happens, I had a similar past and well, that's history, what matters is now... Get an AAS from WVUP.
Get as many credits you need to graduate/transfer, they only require 1 course/3 credits for residency!

You can get ACE recommended credits for it, from ALEKS for math to Saylor, Straighterline, and Study.com for the rest. You can do a General Studies in anything, or an AOE of choice (5 courses of same concentration). There are set requirements of 7 courses, but the remaining courses can be anything.

I would suggest you to transfer your courses to Hodges University and go for one of their UPower programs and use your financial aid / grants that you mentioned. Their competency based programs have had wonderful reviews and they're a local South West Florida University. Or ladder to a Patten/WGU Bachelors if you like Competency Based Degrees.

Side Note: You can take most courses elsewhere and transfer into Hodges, take the remainder of the courses for a term and be done with it... I would shoot for 1 term as they offer great tuition of $2500-$3000/6 month term. Get your AAS and many of the general education and electives done, then transfer them in... Same for Patten/WGU.
