Full Season Pass refund details

A Season Pass is eligible for a full refund within seven days of purchase only if the student has completed no more than five feedback passes and all completed passes were used on a single essay. Using feedback passes on more than one essay makes the Season Pass ineligible for a refund, even if five or fewer passes were completed in total.

Not sure yet? Choose Monthly instead. It renews month to month and can be canceled at any time.
