| STEP FOUR - Getting Help When You Need It |
Your courses are designed so that you can study independently. Faculty and instructional advisors are available to answer your questions from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Eastern time, Monday through Friday. On weekends and holidays, you can leave a message and your call will be answered the next business day. You can also contact your instructors by email if you prefer.
