    Distance Learning Systems Indiana, Inc. Response

    09/25/2023

    We are sorry you are having issues. We reviewed your enrollment and found that you enrolled on October 9, 2019, about 4 years ago. During that time, you have not attempted or completed any classes, even though your enrollment has been active during that entire period. We have made many attempts to contact you and help you get started with classes, but with no success. Your enrollment was for a period of 48 months, which is about to end; however, we are willing to extend your enrollment at no additional cost in an effort to help you complete your program. We are confident you will be successful if you will do the work. You have over 500 accredited online degrees programs to choose from if your academic goals have changed. Please call our student services department to schedule class. We are here for you, and we will work diligently to ensure your success.
