I am very disappointed in salt I have sent emails, called and noone has gotten back to me. I have been trying to reset my password and the email salt sent tells me server issue. Also, when I was able to log-in, I couldnt take the classes being offered money101. What a waste of money for my school to buy when its no use to the students.
