Material kit contents may be altered based upon international shipping regulations or restrictions. Course Materials may be used only for the benefit of the single named student enrolled. You may not reproduce or distribute any Course Materials or transfer or sell any Course Materials to any third party, except to the extent legally permissible.

Materials Reshipment Policy

Effective: 7/1/2017

Upon receipt of school materials customer is responsible for reviewing the contents in the boxes to those listed on the packing list for completeness and accuracy. If customer encounters missing or damaged item(s), customer is responsible for notifying K12 Sales Support at (salessupport@k12.com) within 30 days of receipt of shipment. If the missing or damaged item(s) are a result of a K12 or K12 vendor error, K12 will replace the item(s) at no cost to the Customer. If K12 is notified of missing or damaged item(s) after 30 days of receipt of shipment and/or the item(s) missing or damaged is not the fault of K12 or K12 vendor error, customer will be sent a replacement and charged a replacement fee as well as the cost of shipping the replacement materials.



4. COURSE SWAPS. A course swap is dropping a course and adding a different course to the student’s enrollment. Full-time and part-time students may drop a course and add a different course before and up through the 30th calendar day of the dropped course start date.


Full-time students may swap courses without incurring any additional costs. If a course swap is requested after the 30th day, it will be considered a course withdrawal, and a new course can be purchased for an enrolling term for a fee of one hundred dollars ($100) nonrefundable administration fee. Full-time students who have withdrawn from and added courses are responsible for purchasing any new materials required as a result of the course swap.


Part-time students must pay a one hundred dollar ($100) nonrefundable administration fee for each swapped course in addition to any course cost differential via credit card before the student can be provided access to the added course. (E.g. if a part-time student swaps a $400 course for a $475 course, she must pay the $100 non-refundable administration fee plus the $75 course cost differential via credit card before being able to access the new course material.)
