9. We recommend that DE students do a maximum of 13 credits hours (four courses and a Mentoring credit). Students who have part-time or full-time jobs will probably need to do fewer courses. Each summer two six-week intensive sessions will be available for students who want to do online courses. Please note that during the Summer semester, the courses are taught in an intensive format (i.e. 12-week courses are taught during a 6-week session and students need to consider this when they are selecting their courses). Please see the Summer 2012 Course Offerings for more information.  Students should note that by only doing 13 credit hours, they may not qualify to receive Government Student Loans since some provinces require that a student do 60% or possibly 80% of the required credits in a program to qualify for a student loan. If you have any questions regarding this, please contact .

10. Due to the high volume of Junk Mail that some email accounts receive, many people configure their accounts to only accept emails from v people they know. Unfortunately each semester this has resulted in a significant number of students, particularly those using Hotmail and Yahoo accounts, to not receive their Course Confirmation Forms. THEREFORE, it is very important that you ensure your browser is configured to accept emails from Master’s.
