Duration of Access
When you enroll in the program, you’re given a year to complete it. If you need more time, you’ll receive a six-month extension at no charge. If you require another extension beyond the free six-month extension, you can pay a $200.00 U.S. (licensing fee) to Gatlin International for an additional 12-month extension. These extensions will be consecutive (one after the other), so if you step away from the program and come back ready to resume your education, you may do so after paying the licensing fee. This fee may change from one year to the next. Please don’t request an extension until you’ve almost run out of time (determined by end date). This way, you have the option of stepping away from the program for a while if needed, and upon returning, you may catch up, use the free extension, or pay for an additional license in order to complete the program.
