    If you do enroll watch out for there Automatic Disenrollment feature. 

    Just an FYI - automatic disenrollment is actually a fairly common practice among colleges and universities, not just for-profit schools, or schools that offer online education.

    So, for example, if you don't enroll in at least 1 course for X number of months or if there's a requirement that you complete a course within X number of months (or years, whatever), you could be considered inactive and then be automatically disenrolled. What happens then is that if you are disenrolled for inactivity, you have to reapply for admission. Disenrollment usually has no negative effect on your academic standing.

    All this means is that you have to keep in touch with your advisor, or the school in general, to let them know about your progress. If you suddenly drop out of a course or decide you can't continue, you MUST notify the school that you need time off. You can usually try to work something out.
