What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Ma
last fall I started a graduate program at a private university. The degree program I enrolled in is brand new. Me along with eight other students were the first to go through the program. It is set up in a non traditional way where we would meet one weekend a month from 7-9 on fri 8-6 on sat and 830-330 on Sundays. The class would meet over two weekend in the semester and have required readings and assignments due inbetween. We also had one intensive 4 credit class that met for 6 days straight from 9-5 for one week late summer. The program of study was set up so that for the second year of studys summer we had an option to study as a class abroad or to another city. I have now done two semesters 16 credits of work. In December we were informed there would no longer be a study abroad option or the option to study in another city due to the high travel costs. We were informed that we could either do an independent study or take a grad level class at another institution and transfer the credits. I was very upset as I had never travelled abroad and it seemed like a great opportunity. At our last meeting innearly May our teacher for the next semester informed us she was going to conduct the class online. I did not sign up to go to online school. I am wondering if I can get any tuition back as I do not want to continue my study as an online student. I feel decieved and I am wondering if there is anything I can do. The professor has offered to meet with me one on one but it is not the same learning experience as sitting in a classroom in a discussion. I would like tontransfer to the state university but I already paid a year of tuition. Is there anything I can do? Help!
