Important Notice for DM10 Students
Each student is assigned an end date that falls 12 months after their official start date. Please make sure you are aware of your specific end date as you work toward completing your program requirements.
Because the DM10 course will be officially retired on December 10, 2026, extension options will be limited. Standard 9-month extensions will not be available for DM10 enrollments whose end dates fall after February 2026. If you qualify for an extension, it will be shorter than the usual duration, and details will be provided as you approach your end date if you have not yet finished the course.
All coursework must be submitted no later than your individual end date. No assignments can be accepted after December 10, 2026, under any circumstances.
Students who do not complete DM10 by their end date or before its retirement, whichever comes first, will need to enroll in the updated DM11 course, pay the new course fee, and begin the program again. Work completed in DM10 cannot be transferred to DM11, and new textbooks will be required.
If you are currently enrolled in DM10 and anticipate needing extra time, please plan accordingly with these deadlines in mind.
DM11 students may disregard this notice.
