No Time For School? |
Our program is production based not attendance based. Weekly hand-ins are required to maintain your spot in the program. One of the unique aspects of this school is that you can work on your courses based on your own schedule. This allows flexibility around work or other commitments. It's all part of taking responsibility for YOUR OWN actions. However, remember that the 3-strike rule applies, so keep up those hand-ins. |
