Dropping the course

Non-participation in forums will qualify you for an automatic dropping. Non-submission of the
activity at Module 4 will result in a grade of EXT (extended or incomplete). I believe non-
participation on this specific area defeats the purpose of the course.

If you are unable to submit any of the course requirements, or unable to continue on with
the course for whatever reason, I would suggest that you officially DROP the course.

Final Examination
Examination will be done online. You will be given a two-week notice if changes be made to the
scheduled date.
