Important Notice for DM10 Students

Please be aware that standard 9-month extensions will not be available for DM10 enrollments after February 2026. The DM10 course will be officially retired on December 10, 2026, and all coursework must be completed by that time. Available extensions will be shorter than the standard duration, and additional details will be emailed to you as you approach your program end date if you have not yet completed the course requirements.

Students who do not finish the DM10 course before its December 10, 2026 retirement date will be required to register for the updated DM11 version and restart the program from the beginning. Previously completed DM10 lessons cannot be transferred to DM11, and new textbooks will be required.

If you are a current DM10 student and expect to need extra time, please plan accordingly.

DM11 students may disregard this notice.
