All subscriptions are per-student, per-course.
All data and accounts are removed from our system starting 30 days after your subscription ends. Please ensure you have downloaded student grades and certificates for your permanent records before your subscription end date.
Yearly Subscriptions
A yearly subscription provides you a full calendar year (12 months) access to the course material. The 1-year window does not start until you redeem your purchased registration codes to create your account. So, you can purchase now and get started when ready.
Monthly Subscriptions
Monthly subscriptions are auto-billed to your credit card each month. You can maintain the subscription for as long as your student needs to complete the course and cancel the subscription at any time. There is no long-term commitment.
NOTE: The quantity you enter for a monthly subscription is the number of students, not the number of months. For example, a quantity of 3 will purchase 1 month of access for 3 students, not 3 months for 1 student.
Monthly subscriptions auto-renew each month. Families are responsible for canceling their subscriptions through the Student or Teacher dashboard when done with a course.
Siblings and Families
If you choose a 1-year subscription, then you can add additional siblings to the same class for $40. The additional sibling accounts will run concurrently with the original student in the same course and cannot be used at a later time or for a different course.
If you choose a monthly subscription, then each sibling will require an additional monthly subscription at the same rate. The additional sibling monthly subscriptions can be cancelled indepdently of the original student.
In either case, purchase just one student initially, and then create your teacher account and add the sibling from your Teacher's Menu within the course.
Sibling licenses are only permitted for immediate family members of an already-licensed student. Unrelated students must always have their own full license.

Refund Guarantee
If, within the first 30 days, you find your selected course is not a good fit for your student for any reason, we will fully refund your purchase price (1-year subscription or first month subscription) and cancel your account with no obligation.
