What are the rules for Arkansas states' Academic Probation?
I'm on Academic Probation at Arkansas Tech due to absences for family issues as well as me not passing College Algebra last semester.
I'm doing much better this semester, except for Algebra. I can't understand it, yet I got placed in it. Not only can I not understand it but I was unable to do my homework for the first six weeks due to FAFSA not processing fully, and I'm not able to make up the work.
What would this do if I were to drop the course?
I can't handle Algebra or the instructor (seriously less than half his students pass). I normally wouldn't drop but I'd rather have a "W" than another "F" and not be able to get FAFSA for college again, which means I won't be able to go to college again.
Trust me I've tried to understand and pay attention and take notes but for the second semester in a row I cannot understand.

You need to talk to your advisor, to find out if you're allowed to drop this class. And if you do, what are the repercussions - including financial, if any.
You need to take more control over your own academics. If you know you can't do the algebra, and you are forced to take this class, talk to your advisor. Find out if you can take a lower level class first (often, you can.) And when you take any future algebra or math class, get a tutor from week one, and work with that tutor at least once per week for the entire term.
I mean, you already know that paying attention and taking notes doesn't work for you in this class. Take control. Even if you have to stay in this class for the rest of the term, get a tutor now, and see if you can salvage it.
