- Additional Comments: Because this is a distance learning course, attendance is not an issue; however, turning assignments in on time is. If you do not submit an assignment over a 2 week period I will assume you do not wish to stay in the class and you will be dropped from the class. Drops will not be backdated. Contact the counseling center or the distance learning help desk to drop the course.
