absence will be final and binding.
We wanted to share a few final tips before you begin your courses next week:
(1) The Self-Services Portal is a very important 'place' at UoPeople. It's where you will:
a) register for courses
b) drop or withdraw from a course
c) apply for a Leave of Absence (LOA)
d) request to change majors
e) access your unofficial academic record (which is your unofficial UoPeople transcript)
f) access information useful to students like frequently asked questions about proctors etc.
