TERMS AND CONDITIONS
All families wishing to register for live-feed online classes must agree to the following "terms and conditions" before being accepted into the ApologiaAcademy:
- I understand that it is my responsibility (parent[s], family) to make sure we are legally homeschooling in the appropriate state or country.
- I agree (student) to behave in a courteous manner during class. This includes proper etiquette in the chat box, respecting the instructors, and integrity in completing assignments, taking tests, and sharing information.
- I understand that all registered families agree to receive the ApologiaWorld monthly e-newsletter.
- I understand that all registered students are expected to be "in their seats" when the "bell rings" (i.e. the scheduled time for the class to begin). Classes will begin and end on time.
- I will let the teacher(s) know (in advance) any day my child(ren) will be absent. For unexpected events (sickness, emergencies), parents and students should notify the teacher by email with the reason(s). Missing many classes will hinder a student's ability to excel in the course.
- I (parent[s]) agree to be actively engaged in the education of my/our child(ren) including, but not limited to, deadlines, homework assistance, assignments, technical difficulties, teacher communication, and behavioral situations.
- I will use integrity when dealing with all financial matters including on-time payment of tuition and other fees, refunds, class withdrawals, early registration, and discounts.
- Refunds and Dropping/withdrawing from a class before the semester begins:
- I understand that if I drop or withdrawal from a class prior to the beginning of the semester, I will forfeit my registration fee ($25) plus 5% of any amount paid. If curriculum has been purchased at a discount I may keep it.
- Refunds and Dropping/withdrawing from a class when the semester begins – I understand the following:
- Dropping a class during the first 5 weeks of the semester: forfeit the $25 registration fee plus 20% per week of total paid (ex: end of week #1 = 20%, end of week #2 = 40%, week #3 = 60%, week #4 = 80%, week #5 = no refund)
- Examples:
- TWO-SEMESTER CLASSES (full year - all the science classes):
- Sept. 6-12 = total amount minus 20% (all dates are hypothetical only)
- Sept. 13-19 = total amount minus 40%
- Sept. 20-26 = total amount minus 60%
- Sept. 27-Oct 3 = total amount minus 80%
- After Oct 3 no more refund
- ONE-SEMESTER CLASSES (Bible, Apologetics, & Worldview classes)
- Semester 1: Same as above.
- Semester 2 example (if classes begin the week of January 25):
- January 25-31 = total amount minus 20%
- Feb. 1-7 = total amount minus 40%
- Feb. 8-14 = total amount minus 60%
- Feb. 15-21 = total amount minus 80%
- After Feb. 21 no more refund
- I understand that ApologiaAcademy accepts payments only by credit and debit cards. If I have chosen to pay by installments, each payment will be debited from my credit or debit card.
- I understand that early registration is ONLY for retuning ApologiaAcademy families and FULL-TIME missionaries and military (locally and abroad). I will not register early if I do not fit into this category.
- Since ApologiaAcademy depends on technology for their quality educational process, I will agree to keep up-to-date on computer requirements. This includes regular computer maintenance, and communicating with ApologiaAcademy about any technical questions, needs, or problems.
- I agree to register only for classes I intend to take (you cannot be registered for one class and on the wait list for the same subject at another time).
- I will not go on a "wait list" unless I fully intend to take the class(es).
- I will ensure that my computer meets the minimum requirements.
- I have tested my computer by downloading the GP4 software and/or WebEx according to the "Technical Requirements" page. GP4 and/or WebEx works fine on my computer and with my internet connection.
