hours a week for each class.  Each class is designed around an 18 week block, although some students will finish early while others may need a little extra time to complete the course requirements.  You are not penalized in either case.  If you finish early, let the office know that you are ready to sign up for your next class.  It will be important for you to maintain 5 hours a week per class to stay enrolled in the program.  Failure to show any progress or submit timesheets within a two week period may result in a student being dropped from a class or the program.</div> <bR> <div> <I>Timesheets</I></div> <div> As you've already been informed, submitting weekly timesheets is a very important part of maintaining your enrollment in the program.  Please make sure you are <A
