You didn't name the "private" school, but you should be aware that I (and I imagine other attorneys) receive numerous complaints. This is a new one, however. Basically, a private school can contract with you and have "rules" and procedures that may differ markedly from public universities, such as the California university system. However, once a private school enters into a contract, they are bound by their own terms. You need to check whether there was any mention in your original contract about the days off between modules. How were you "told" about this? If the school has changed this scheduling in the middle of your program, they have breached their own contract. You can get your money back or even damages for lost time you may have wasted in this program. You need to mediate your losses by locating an alternative program.
