However, accreditation does not guarantee the transfer of high school credits, since local school districts or institutions may create their own policies of credit transfer. Some schools or colleges may require additional validation of academic achievement.

I understand that it is my responsibility to oversee my student’s academic progress and further, I understand that my student is expected to complete the assigned program of study within the assigned timeline as displayed in my student’s Planner tab. If it is evident my student is unable, I will immediately contact the Administration Office.
I will ensure that my student submits work on a regular basis to allow for ongoing oversight by school personnel. I further pledge to keep my student’s teachers fully informed of any circumstances that might affect my student’s educational progress. I will support their efforts to teach my student.
I will require breaks away from the computer in order to prevent eye strain, stiffness, and headaches, and I will provide my student with the most vision-friendly computer monitor that I can afford.
I will use an up-to-date anti-virus program to protect my student’s computer. to keep the computer free of viruses.
I acknowledge that Odyssey’s curriculum is written from a Bible-centered, Christian worldview in accordance with the published statement of faith.
I understand that completion of the Stanford Achievement Test is required for admission and each Spring thereafter.

I understand the trial period is 60 days. A semester commitment is required after 60 days. Withdrawals after 60 days can take place only at the end of the current semester.
I have read and understand the cancellation and refund policy as shown on the Odyssey website. If I choose to cancel or withdraw my student(s), I must notify the school in writing or by e-mail.
I pledge to make tuition payments as scheduled. If I choose to pay installments with a credit or debit card, I understand that the remaining payment(s) will be automatically charged each month. Failure to make payments on time will result in temporary suspension of my student’s online access until payment arrangements have been made with the Administration Office.
I understand that Odyssey Academy reserves the right to cancel enrollment at any time due to non-payment of fees, unsatisfactory progress, program abuse or plagiarism, or failure to follow school policies and procedures.
