Course Fees and Guidelines
How Does This Work?
After enrollment, parents receive a login and course access link to the online course located in our Canvas learning platform. Students will complete a brief orientation module designed to help them understand course expectations and navigation. It is important that both you and your student read through this first module.
All coursework is completed online. Students communicate with their assigned teacher, submit lessons, and complete assessments through the Canvas platform. Courses are asynchronous, meaning students may work on their course at any time—day or evening—provided they meet deadlines established by the course instructor or their school counselor. Students are responsible for checking and adhering to any deadlines set by their school.
Will My Student Have Access to a Teacher?
Yes, however, the teacher and school contact is not available 24/7 nor is the teacher available to answer questions or reset coursework over the weekend and holidays.
These are independent courses monitored by a teacher who is responsible for grading and oversight. Teachers are available to assist students when clarification or academic support is needed within business hours and school days.
Are the Courses Self-Paced?
Courses are self-paced, but they are not open-ended. Each course has a start date and an end date, and students must complete all requirements within the allotted enrollment period. Courses are 6 months. After that period, if you still require more time, you will need to complete an extension to keep the course open.
What Materials Are Required?
Students must have:
What If We Do Not Have Reliable Internet?
Enrollment requires reliable internet access and a computer.
If internet access is limited due to location, this must be disclosed on the enrollment form. Once a course has begun, lack of internet or lack of computer access cannot be used as a reason for non-completion. We are not responsible for students' inability to complete coursework or assessments because of this.
Course Fees
Payment is accepted by e-check, debit card, or credit card. Debit and credit card payments may incur an additional processing fee. Using the Online Registration Form allows for immediate course purchase.
Email Address Requirement
A valid, working email address is required for enrollment. Course access information, instructional materials, and official correspondence will be sent to the parent's email listed on the application. This email is also used for communication regarding student progress.
Enrollment Information
Once you have identified the course(s) needed, complete the enrollment application. Each enrollment must be approved by a school principal or counselor. Homeschool students under age 18 must have parent permission.
Enrollment is available year-round. After approval, submit the completed application, and required fees. Visit Registration for step-by-step enrollment instructions.
Course Completion & Expiration
Course Renewal Policy:
Students have 6 months from the enrollment date to complete their virtual course. If the course is not completed within 6 months, access will expire, and the student must renew enrollment to continue. Renewals extend the course for an additional 6 months from the renewal date and require a renewal fee of $100. Students have a 7-day grace period to renew after the deadline. Courses may be renewed up to two times. Credit is issued only after all required work and exams are completed during an active enrollment period.
Extension (2nd Renewal)
Students may renew a course up to two times. After the second renewal, students may be required to:
Transcript/Credit Rule (Important)

We allow the following accommodations: Extended Time, Calculator Use
You are required to submit documentation from your school stating that the student receives these accommodations at the time of enrollment. We will not modify the course content. There is an Immersive Reader on all coursework except Quizzes/Tests.
Failure to request accommodations before testing constitutes a waiver of accommodation rights.
Refund Policy
If no lessons have been submitted, a refund (minus the $50 registration fee) may be issued if requested within 10 days of enrollment. Refund requests must be emailed to [email protected].
Course TransfersTransfers must be requested within 30 days of enrollment and only if no lessons beyond the first module have been submitted. A new enrollment application and a $50 processing fee are required, along with school approval.

Proctoring Requirements
All exams are proctored using Proctorio, an online proctoring system that allows students to complete assessments from home. Students must take exams in a private, quiet space with no other individuals present. Proctorio records and monitors the testing environment, including the room, computer activity, and ambient sound.
If a Proctorio review indicates unusual activity or the presence of another individual in the testing space, the exam may be voided and assigned a score of zero (0). Exams may also be voided if the student is not consistently facing the computer monitor during the assessment.
Grading Scale
Academic Integrity
Academic honesty is required. Violations—including plagiarism, AI-generated submissions, unauthorized materials, falsified information, or exam misconduct—will result in course failure, forfeiture of fees, and loss of re-enrollment eligibility.
Appeals
Appeals must be submitted within 30 days of grade posting.
Enrollment Disclaimer
Trinity Christian Academy is not responsible for a student’s failure to complete a course by the deadline set by their school. Because each course requires adequate time for successful completion, applications will not be approved if fewer than three weeks remain before the required deadline.
