Pricing Policies and Procedures

Codon's pricing policy is based on our philosophy and commitment to ensure that all students have access to our platform at an affordable cost. Understanding the varying financial situations of students, we provide a 21-day free trial for all courses, with the option to extend this period if necessary. We sell codes to local bookstores for students who must purchase course materials from the bookstore. We also provide instructors with codes for students who cannot afford the system due to financial hardship. Students have access to their Codon course(s) for five years. Students retaking a course for any reason, do not have to purchase again. We integrate with all of the major learning management systems.

How are students enrolled in a Codon course?

There are two ways students can be enrolled in a Codon course:

1. Self-Registration
   The course instructor receives a course-specific self-registration link from their Codon Education Support Specialist. The instructor shares this link with students, who use it to create a Codon account and enroll in the course. Students then access Codon by logging in at app.codonlearning.com.

2. Learning Management System (LMS) Integration
   The course instructor works with their Codon Education Support Specialist to integrate Codon into the institution’s LMS (such as Canvas, Blackboard, or D2L). Once the integration is set up, students are automatically enrolled when they launch Codon Learning through the LMS.

Note: All students are allowed a temporary free access period before they are required to pay for a subscription. The temporary free access period is usually 21-days for semester courses. We are able to process refunds up until the end of the temporary access period.

How do students access Codon?

• Students should refer to the instructions provided by their instructor (which we provide to instructors) to know if they should login to Codon Learning by clicking a link in their LMS course page or by going to app.codonlearning.com.

• Upon login, students can click the Course Access tab on the right side of the Codon App to see how many days remain in their temporary free access period and/or enter the access code provided by the bookstore.

• Please contact the Codon Helpdesk for additional support.

How are subscriptions paid?

There are three ways that subscriptions are paid:

1. Student Direct Pay: Students pay using a credit card payment on the Codon platform.

2. Student Access Code: Students enter an access code on the Codon platform, which they obtain either from a bookstore (often necessary for students paying with financial aid) or as part of a digital bundle.

3. Institution or Department Pay: Institutions or departments submit a purchase order to Codon, which in turn sends an invoice to be paid within 30 days.
