After contemplating dropping out to get a break, I called and after a few e-mails was told that I could change my status to part-time and take a little was one course.... A1! ..just what I needed... so, I'll take just one course in the spring which will easily recharge my batteries and will only delay me a little bit...
I was wondering why you had to be full-time at FHSU. The part-time status makes much more sense for distance education students. Good luck on your continued studies.
