     Since we don't have classes during the summer, we don't worry about access
during the summer.  I check at the beginning of each semester to see who is
registered and who isn't and delete or disable the accounts of those who aren't.

     Throughout the ESL program DEC has been pretty good about enforcing the
"intent" of the rules rather than the letter.  In this case I believe that the
intent is to prevent those who are no longer associated with an educational
institution to have the benefits of the ESL program.  Thus, those who take a
semester off (especially summer) but intend to continue with the next semester
should be allowed on.

     Again, this is only an opinion.  You should get an opinion from DEC for the
"official" answer.
