This phone call keeps recurring, and I believe it has something to do with the Art Institute of Pittsburgh - online division.
I notified them before 6 days that I wanted to drop this class. I was told it was CPU 101, compuuter literacy. It was much more than that. It included Illustrator, Photoshop, and Microsoft Office, all of these programs I don't have, and wasn't given a chance to get them before class started. The Instructor herself called me on the phone and told me to see if I could make some kind of deal to forgive the tuition for the class since I was inrolled the day before class started and there was no way at all possible to get my books and software in time, so I wouldn't fall so far behind I could never catch up. I called the school early in the morning to tell them I wanted to drop the class. I was told they had to talk to their supervisor and they would get back to me. They never did, and they never acknlodged my emails.
