I just wanted to say that people should understand not all
online experiences are going to be great. Can it be possible
that the student could have something to do with the
failure/miscommunication in the interruption of studies or
payment as well? I attended an outstanding institution for
online courses and allowed my inability to properly manage my
time get in the way and had to re-enroll at a later date, which
cost me more that when I started out. This often happens in
both non-traditional and tradition institutions. It can also be
said that sometimes those personnel working in admission my not
know what they are doing as well. Reading the fine print,
understanding the admissions department, and paying attention to
your own mistakes can save you a lot of grief in the end. The
program I attended was at St. Joseph's College of Maine, a fine
institution for higher education, but I mismanaged my time not
them. Sometimes we need to take blame for our own mistakes.
