Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in Arizona

I was accepted into a university about four months ago and have completed one semester of an online program in Arizona. After being unable to get the support I needed I have decided I do not want to attend this university anymore. A new semester just started this week, January 4. I had been trying since the prior week to contact the university but I have not been able to reach a single person by phone or e-mail. Now that the semester has begun and I am now enrolled in a course which I have been trying to drop I have reason to believe that the university is going to:

1. Delay withdrawing me from classes and continue to be unavailable in order to charge me for a full semester's tuition ( 2 classes, 8 weeks each) or

2. Charge me a $100 drop fee and 25% of the semester's tuition.

Is there anyway I can avoid be charged for classes I never took? As I said, I have been trying since before the semester began to contact someone and I have not been able to so I could not withdraw before the beginning of the semester and right now I am a week into it.

As soon as possible, send a letter by certified-return receipt mail or some other way to track receipt and possibly a signature from the recipient. State that you want to cancel your enrollment immediately. If they don't give you a full refund/cancellation, you'll probably have to go with the drop fee and partial tuition as your best option.

Good luck!
