How is the system licensed?

Our standard license includes:

All materials are delivered digitally through a secure access system.

How do schools access the materials?

Instructor-only materials are clearly separated and must not be accessible to students.

Can materials be uploaded to our LMS?

Instructor answer keys must remain restricted to faculty only.

Can we print the materials?

Yes. Schools may print materials for instructional use within their program. Printed copies may not be shared outside the institution or used beyond the license term.

Are updates included?

What happens if we do not renew?

If a license is not renewed:

  • Digital access will be revoked

  • Schools must cease using all licensed materials

  • Printed or downloaded copies may no longer be used for instruction

Who owns the curriculum?
