I am passing the semester but might still be denied admission for spring and aid money?

I enrolled in the fall 2019 semester as a continuing freshman. Before now, I had only enrolled in college (the one I am attending) one time which was in 2014 and I didn't realize when I dropped out that I withdraw incorrectly.

I found out at the beginning of this semester that I was in a warning semester (academic probation) because of the incorrect withdrawal. I was still able to receive aid and register for classes. I spoke with an advisor (who knew I was in a warning semester) and registered for classes accordingly with what she said I needed to do; repeat the classes I was supposed to take in 2014 for a total of 13 credit hours.

I find out today from the financial aid office - while checking on something in my student account - that it looks like I needed 16 hours, not 13 this semester, and that my account shows 26 attempted hours and 13 completed (the 13 I am registered for this semester). The woman I have been speaking with today said that if I don't have the required GPA (1.75) or completion rate (62%) at the end of the term, then my financial aid status could be changed and I would be deemed ineligible for aid for spring. In my student account, I have spring aid waiting for me. I don't have the money to pay for spring out of pocket.

I have been working hard all semester and will have A or B averages in all of my classes at the end of the term. Do I simply need to either have a 1.75 GPA or a 62% completion rate in order to bring my status out of a warning and into good standing or will it not matter with me being 3 credit hours short? Are credit hours the only way to meet the GPA or completion rate requirements?

I am very disheartened right now.
