This

material will be delivered via the Internet. It is not easier or less work
than a traditional course. In fact, most distance learners say these courses
are harder and more time consuming. The instructor will be available to
students via electronic mail within the WebCT website or via telephone at
(619) 388-7454. It is the
student's responsibility to add, drop or withdraw from this course by the
established deadlines. Petitions to add, drop or
withdraw after the deadline will not be approved without proof of
circumstances beyond the student's control. Lack of money to pay fees is not
considered an extenuating circumstance. Further, it is the student's
responsibility to insure that all work is submitted, as per guidelines in the
on line format, by the required date. Students
are advised that many problems can occur with technology and that they should
anticipate such problems and allow sufficient time to rectify them in order
that work is completed by deadline. For the purposes of this online course,
students are expected to have adequate computer skills to be able to manage
the technology. Students are required to check the Internet course site on a
daily basis to insure that they are up to date with the calendar, mail and
bulletin board postings. Registration
