Is this legal? (Rasmussen College)

[t3chyo]

Ok so I've decided to give it a go by attending Rasmussen College. I've decided to drop out before it's too late because I felt like it was too expensive and I wasn't being educated well.

I have received a letter in the mail stating if I do not contact this person by December 2nd that I will be withdrawn from the college.

So I emailed the lady on December 1st and told her I've decided to drop-out.

On December 3rd I get a letter from a different lady saying I have been with-drawn from Rasmussen College.

Is this legal?

The problem here is that I've heard there's more severe consequences with getting with-drawn instead of dropping-out.

Anyone have any insight on my situation? Thanks..

Ive learned, from college in the States, that you do NOTHING by email in relation to academic issues, concerns, etc. Do everything in person, or at least by phone. I have been promised drops and INC's from professors in email, and they totally forget. Dont trust email when it comes to academic stuff, especially in college.

Good point, been emailing some ass at a college since last Friday, still hasn't gotten back, going to call I think.. Sucks tho because I only have a contact email, no name..

It turns out I was over reacting and withdrawal is actually better since that means you can go back to the school...which I WONT

I highly recommend not going to Rasmussen. Way over priced (double of a community college) and I had to teach myself and felt like I wasn't being challenged or learning anything.

Other testimony's online agree they are a scam to feed off the uneducated.

Someone mentioned they quit Rasmussen and went to a community college and said it was 10x harder work! It also cost half the price of Rasmussen...Hmmmm

I could seriously not do my all my homework until the last day of the week and still get by with B/A scores on the work.

Something didn't seem right...I'm glad I'm out of there and got out cheap.

Thanks for any advice but I got it all figured out...thank God I have this stress off my shoulders...
