Who takes Unlimited Access courses?
What subjects are available?
How long are courses available? Do they disappear after a time?
Unlimited Access courses are available indefinitely. We do not delete courses except to replace with a newer, better version.
What is the refund policy if I want to discontinue my subscription early?
For the Annual Unlimited Access service, you can request a full refund if we are notified within 7 days of your initial payment. After that, a refund will be prorated minus 1 month. For example, if you cancel after 5 months, you will be refunded for 6 months of your Annual Unlimited Access. For the Monthly Unlimited Access service, you can cancel anytime without penalty. If you need to request a refund for the current month, we must be notified within 24 hours of the payment. Subscribers are sent monthly notices of the deduction to the email address provided.
Do I have to subscribe for each child or can my entire family enjoy one subscription to Unlimited Access?
Your entire family can enjoy all of our recorded courses for one price. You do not need to subscribe for each individual child. We want to help you keep costs down. We do ask, however, if you are part of a co-op or similar program that each family have a subscription. Passwords and enrollment keys should not be shared outside of your immediate family.
What if I want each child to have his or her own account?
Some parents prefer that their children have individual user names and passwords. For those parents, we offer Multiple Access. For $40 per month, you can have two accounts. For $50 per month, you can have three-plus accounts. Parents can also request a parental account that gives them the ability to view each child's progress in one place.
Can I sign up for only one course for one child?
Yes! We offer a service called Single Access for only $11.97 per month. Like Unlimited Access, you can cancel anytime. If you want to go right from your current course to a new course, you don't have to sign up anew. Just drop us an email and we'll make the move to the new course for you.
How do I use Unlimited Access in my co-op?
If you are a part of a homeschool co-op and would like to use our recorded courses, whether individual courses or the entire slate of courses, we are able to accommodate you. Click here for details: Homeschool Co-op Online Classes. Most co-ops take advantage of our Single Access program.
What do I get with Unlimited Access?
All of our live, interactive classes are recorded. Once completed, the live courses are converted to an Unlimited Access course in accordance with the following schedule:
For example, for a Fall semester course, the course will be converted and made available through Unlimited Access by February 15 of the following year.
You will get all of the recorded lectures plus all of the supporting materials such as essay topics, quizzes, answer keys, etc.
What grade level are your courses geared for?
We offer courses for 5th through 12th grade. We also have a few geared just for adults. We are currently developing courses for grade school. We are adding unit studies for 3rd through 6th grade in 2020.
Is it better to take a live or recorded course?
Live courses are generally better as you are able to interact with the instructor firsthand during class and via email in between. However, it may not be possible to fit a live class into your schedule. Recorded courses can be taken on your own time, at your own pace. They are also an economical choice.
My children are too young, but I’d love to take these courses myself! Is this possible?
While the live, interactive courses would not be available to you, you may take part in Unlimited Access. The recorded courses are very enriching for young and old alike. Many homeschool parents use our courses to help them be better homeschool or co-op teachers.
My children are enrolled in a home-study program, how do they take your classes?
If you’re using our courses as a supplement then you don’t need to do anything special. If you’d like your home-study program to give your student credit for the course and include it on their transcript for you, then give them a call to work out details.
My oldest is no longer homeschooled but attends a public school. Can she still take part in Unlimited Access?
Most certainly. This is a terrific opportunity to supplement her school studies with Catholic instructors in the evening, on the weekend, or during the summer.
Are you an accredited school?
We are a curriculum provider and not a school. To review our entire policy on accreditation, please click here: Do Homeschool Programs Need to Be Accredited. If you are in one of the rare instances where accreditation is necessary, we recommend enrolling in an accredited umbrella school or home-study program such as Kolbe Academy that will approve our courses and include them on your students' transcript.
Do you provide transcripts?
Transcripts are only available for live, interactive courses. Unlimited Access is a self-directed program, so the parent issues the final grade. A parent-generated transcript is acceptable for college admission. Record-keeping help can be found here: Homeschool High School Transcript.
