ASL - American Sign Language

Dear Dr. Bill Vicars,
I would like to register for your "American Sign Language Course."
I understand that the cost is $483 per 3-semester-hour-equivalent course plus I may have to pay the cost of a blank disk or other video media and the postage to send that video to you for evaluation, (or perhaps I can simply upload the video to a server). I understand I must pass any final examinations with 70% or better and may be required to retake such exams. I have access to a video camera, a computer with a DVD player, and the Internet.

I understand that your transcript is for continuing education units (CEUs) and/or documentation purposes only. If I'm working on an accredited degree I should approach my college, school district, or employer prior to enrolling in this program to determine the transferability of your CEUs. I understand that ASL University is not claiming to prepare me for employment or to become certified in any ASL-related field.

I understand that successfully completing this program will require a minimum of 45 hours per course of my being actively engaged online, plus an additional 90 to 135 hours of signing practice, plus a few hours to do a research paper (one per course), and a few hours taking care of procedural items (like sending in my video).

I understand that I'm entitled to a full refund for the first 3 days after enrollment. After which there is no refund as long as you provide me with an appropriate curriculum, reasonable access to a qualified ASL instructor for questions for up to a year, reasonable access to the ASL University website or equivalent, and an evaluation of my video. I understand I'm not guaranteed to pass. My grade will be based on how well I do in my studies based on the professional experience of a qualified instructor. I am at least 18 years old and/or submission of payment will indicate permission from my parent.
I would like my course enrollment period begin immediately upon receipt of payment by either check, or credit card. If I'm paying by check, I'll print this letter and send it with my check to (contact info). Either that or I will make an electronic payment (using a credit card) for either one course at $483 or two courses at $966.
I'm including my:
