I. MEET YOUR COACH

The parent’s role is especially important for students who are under 18, students who are living with their parents, or students whose parents are contributing financially to their education. Parents can play a key role in supporting, encouraging, and keeping students accountable as they, along with the Coach, encourage the student to take ownership of their education. While parents are welcome to join Coaching Calls anytime they wish, there are a few key times when it can be especially helpful to participate; namely, the very first Coaching Call. Parents may also request to be copied on Coaching Call follow-up notes to stay in touch with what was covered, and parents may contact their student’s Coach at any time via email with questions or concerns.

Academic Life Coaches guide students through the program, connecting them with the resources they need to be successful in each step of the process. Students receive two one-on-one scheduled Coaching Calls per billing month. On the rare occasion that a student’s start date is after the 15th of the month, they will only receive one Coaching Call the first month, going to two monthly calls the second month. All components of the program, including Coaching Calls, are conducted in English.

Roles within the Coaching Relationship The majority of the coaching relationship centers around the Coaching Call; however, a student can contact their Coach between Coaching Calls via e-mail and can expect a response within two business days. The coaching relationship is collaborative, student-centric, and future-focused.

Adult students find it helpful to have a mentor or accountability partner to provide support, encouragement, and accountability. If desired, the student may give their mentor/accountability partner’s email address to their Coach so that they can be copied on all follow up emails from Coaching Calls to support the student in accomplishing goals.

The Coach role is to assist the student in setting and reaching their academic and life goals. Additionally, the Coach provides support, encouragement, accountability, perspective, and resources needed to accomplish those goals.

Missed or Rescheduled Calls

If a student misses a scheduled Coaching Call with their Coach, they may experience delays or forfeit their call for that Coaching Call period. Lumerit is not responsible for these delays or forfeited calls. If a call is missed, the student should contact their Coach immediately to reschedule.

It is the student’s primary role to set weekly action steps with his/her Coach and work to accomplish these goals. Students are expected to keep all Coaching Call appointments or give prior notice if they need to reschedule. Students are encouraged to contact their Coach between calls with questions, struggles, thoughts, successes, or just to touch base. NAVIGATE

In the rare case that a student is not satisfied with their experience in the program, a 30-day money-back guarantee applies and is handled by the Student Services department.

II. ENGAGE WITH THE NAVIGATE APP Dashboard

Upon enrollment, students will receive an email with their Dashboard student account login information. For the duration of their active enrollment, Dashboard is the technology hub for the student’s Lumerit experience. Through Dashboard, students can update their contact information, view all Coaching Call notes, view upcoming coaching calls, and access the Navigate application. Students should be logged into Dashboard for every Coaching Call.

Navigate

The primary component of this program is access to the Lumerit life purpose discovery application, Navigate. Students will work with their parents and Coach to thoughtfully answer critical life questions which will help the student understand where they are going in life and who God has created them to be. Navigate is an online interactive application containing nine modules on topics like life purpose, personal commitment, interests, and future college decisions (like degree choice).

keeping students accountable as they, along with the Coach, encourage the student to take ownership of their education. While parents are welcome to join Coaching Calls anytime they wish, there are a few key times at which it can be especially helpful to participate; namely, the very first Coaching Call and periodic progress review calls. Parents may also request to be copied on Coaching Call follow-up notes to stay in touch with what was covered, and parents may contact their student’s Coach at any time via email with questions or concerns.

When a student starts the Prep program, they are assigned to a Student Success Team. This team’s sole purpose is to make sure the student has everything they need to be successful in the program. The Student Success Team is made up of a Success Coach and a team of Champions who specialize in various topics. All components of the program are conducted in English.

The Success Coach

If a student misses a scheduled Coaching Call with their Coach, they may experience delays or forfeit their call for that Coaching Call period. Lumerit is not responsible for these delays or forfeited calls. If a call is missed, the student should contact their Coach immediately to reschedule.

The Success Coach is available to assist the student in setting and reaching their academic goals. Additionally, the Success Coach provides accountability and resources needed to accomplish those goals. Coaching Calls work best when they are centered around one specific topic so they are typically scheduled in 15 minute segments. Students can schedule calls with their Success Coach as often as they would like. We encourage each student to schedule at least one call with their Success Coach each month.

Should the Lumerit staff be unable to make phone contact with a student for a full four consecutive weeks of their enrollment, that student is considered inactive and may be removed from the program. Inactivity does not release the student from their obligation to complete their payment plan or remit any outstanding payment balance.

It is the student’s role to set action steps with his/her Coach and work to accomplish these goals. Students are expected to keep all Coaching Call appointments or give prior notice if they need to reschedule.

Champions are committed to serving each student well and ensuring that they have a thorough and timely resolution to any question or problem that might come up.

out to their team of Champions with any questions, concerns, or problems they may have.

Prep includes full access to the Lumerit life purpose discovery application, Navigate. Students will work with their parents and Coach to thoughtfully answer critical life questions which will help the student understand who God has created them to be and where they are going in life. Navigate is an online interactive application containing nine modules on topics like life purpose, personal commitment, interests, and future college decisions.

II. CONNECT WITH THE COMMUNITY Student Life

Lumerit students have many opportunities to interact with each other both online and face to face. Online outlets for community include the official student Facebook group, the CP Student YouTube channel, as well as Empower groups which allow students to connect via video chat. There are also opportunities for students to meet in person through local events, mission trips, and the annual national student gathering. Contact [email protected] to learn more.

Not all students will complete all modules as part of the Prep program. We do not encourage students to rush through modules or pressure students to get through as many as possible. Coaches will work with students one-on-one to set goals for module completion as it aligns with the student’s and parent’s goals.

Critical Reasoning

Each Prep student receives access to the Critical Reasoning app. This course has been proven to increase reasoning ability and standardized test scores on exams such as CLEP. The course focuses on four main types of reasoning: analogical, deductive, inductive, and abductive. This course should be handled much like physical fitness: consistent exercise over time builds better thinking skills. Students should not spend several hours a day working in this course. The Coach will help the student pace the course material.

Lumerit Apps

Upon enrollment, students will receive an email with their Dashboard student account login information. For the duration of their active enrollment, Dashboard is the technology hub for the student’s Lumerit experience. Through Dashboard, students can update their contact information, view all Coaching Call notes, view upcoming coaching calls, and access the proprietary Lumerit applications. Students should be logged into Dashboard for every Coaching Call.

NAVIGATE

Every student in Prep is asked to complete an initial assessment before they begin college-level studies to determine their strengths and weaknesses. Students that do not meet the benchmarks in all four reasoning areas are strongly encouraged PREP

to utilize the course to raise their scores before beginning other program components in Prep.

TrailMarker

Academic Consultation

Access to TrailMarker, a flashcard and video preparation tool for the most commonly used exams, is included in Prep tuition and is available to all actively enrolled students.

After working with their coach to complete Navigate and Comparative Worldviews, students are assigned to an Academic Advisor who will plan out their next semester of credit.

Degree Manager

Transfer Credit

This app serves as the primary place where students can view and plan upcoming subjects, access study guides, and access other major milestones and important documents throughout the various phases of their enrollment in the Prep program.

Students with previous college credit should speak with their Admissions Counselor to understand how their transfer credit will impact their experience in the Prep program and ensure that the credits they earn in the Prep program will not overlap with prior credits.

Study Skills Resources

Prep students who would like to improve their memory and reading skills have the option to complete a Study Skills module to supplement the other components of the Prep program. Interested students should discuss with their Coach whether this would be a good tool for them, and their Coach can help them incorporate the Study Skills curriculum into their study schedule.

Official transcript records are required to assess all prior college credit and should be sent to the Research department at the address below after speaking with an Admissions Counselor. Lumerit Education c/o Research Department 116 Kestrel Dr. Spring Branch, TX 78070

On the rare occasion that additional research is required, the finalization of the credit plan may be delayed by a few days.

IV. EARN COLLEGE CREDIT

Credit By Exam

Prep students can choose to utilize nationally-recognized proficiency exams to fulfill a portion of their high school graduation requirements while simultaneously earning college credit. All exams used by Prep students are college-level, standardized exams. Prep provides a study guide and list of recommended resources for each exam which the student is responsible for purchasing.

Comparative Worldviews Course Overview

This course gives students the opportunity to work through a college-level online course while presenting unique and vital content about the concept and impact of worldview. Students will study some of the major worldviews of the day while learning how to test these views and make sense of the world around them from a Biblical perspective.

The Coach and Consultant will work with parents/guardians to align the Prep program with the student’s current schedule, but Prep is not designed to replace the student’s pre-existing high school curriculum. Prep does not provide a foundational source of learning in any subject area. It is designed to be used in conjunction with current or prior high school work.

Course Requirements

The course syllabus lists all the terms and conditions of the Comparative Worldviews course. Please review this document before enrolling in the Prep program to ensure you will be able to meet the requirements. All students who take Comparative Worldviews must take an online proctored exam which allows students the flexibility to take the test without having to go to a NAVIGATE

who pursue additional credit through CLEP exams will need to purchase additional study materials. These materials include study information and valuable practice tests which help gauge a student’s preparedness for the CLEP exam. These resources will be recommended by the Coach.

Lumerit is not responsible for any CLEP credit not accepted by an institution. It is the responsibility of each student and their parent/ guardian to ensure their credits will transfer to the college of their choice.

Lumerit does not endorse all of the philosophies and worldviews presented in all study materials. Parents and students are advised to use caution and take responsibility for the material they study.

Testing Requirements

Students are expected to locate and have access to a CLEP testing center where they can take their exams (http://apps.collegeboard. com/cbsearch_clep/searchCLEPTestCenter.jsp). Test fees and proctor fees are not included in Prep tuition. All students are required to present one form of government issued photo ID to the testing center at the time of testing. The ID must be an original copy, contain the test taker’s full name, include the test taker’s signature, and must be current. Most commonly a student will use a State ID, Driver’s License, or Passport. Students are responsible for providing their ID and covering any required costs. Each testing center has slightly different rules, so students are advised to contact them for more details.

Credit Limitations

The maximum credit that can be earned through the Prep program is 18 college credits. These are earned through completing the Comparative Worldviews course and passing CLEP exams. NAVIGATE

III. CREATE YOUR PLAN Academic Consultation

At the beginning of their Unbound enrollment, students will meet with an Academic Advisor who will lay out their customized bachelor’s Degree Plan. Most students will have an initial Advising Call to better understand what options are available to help them meet their academic and career goals. Once a student is ready to declare a major and target institution, the student will have a Planning Call with their Academic Advisor to create their full Degree Plan (see below).

Because Academic Advisors are well versed in credit-earning methods and in college policies, the Degree Plan is designed to align with the student’s personal priorities such as cost and convenience.

Students targeting certain institutions may have the opportunity to include local courses in their Degree Plan at the time of the Academic Consultation. The option of including local courses is only available for certain degrees and target institutions. This policy does not apply to students who have finished local courses prior to Unbound enrollment (transfer credit) or courses that a student will take onsite at their target institution.

The student’s Degree Plan is visible in the student’s Dashboard account at the time of their consultation and thereafter and is typically finalized within two weeks of the Academic Consultation Planning Call. However, if additional research is required, this time frame may be extended.

Transfer Credit

The Unbound program can be especially conducive for students with transfer credit, even students with extensive transfer credit. Students with previous college credit should speak with their Admissions Counselor to understand the available options that will best fit their situation before enrolling in Unbound.

Degree Plan Changes If, after the initial Academic Consultation Planning Call, the student decides to change their major, college, or if the student otherwise requests significant changes to their existing Degree Plan, an additional Academic Consultation will be scheduled and a $150 fee will apply.

Official transcript records are required to assess all prior credit. After speaking with an Admissions Counselor, these records should be sent to the Research department at the address below. Lumerit Education c/o Research Department 116 Kestrel Dr. Spring Branch, TX 78070

Many Unbound students utilize nationally-recognized proficiency exams to fulfill a portion of their graduation requirements. All exams used by Unbound students are college-level, standardized exams. Lumerit provides a study guide and list of recommended resources for each exam.

Lumerit Courses are online courses curated by Lumerit Education that provide students with the structure of taking a course as well as the freedom of studying wherever and whenever they can. Lumerit courses are available in a variety of subjects and formats to meet each student’s individual needs.

Required Study Materials

CP Courses

Each exam study guide in the student’s Dashboard account contains a list of required and recommended study materials. Other than TrailMarker, which is included in the student’s Unbound tuition, the cost of study resources is borne by the student. The estimated costs of the required resources is factored into the total estimated degree cost.

These courses have been developed to address the specific challenges students face in their world today. They provide students with practical skills and knowledge from a Christian worldview perspective and cover subjects such as Comparative Worldviews, Social Justice, Entrepreneurship, and Community Service Learning. These courses, especially Comparative Worldviews, are highly recommended for all Unbound students.

Lumerit does not endorse all of the philosophies and worldviews presented in all study materials. Parents and students are advised to use caution and take responsibility for the material they study.

Signature Leadership Courses

The Signature Leadership Courses are a three-part series taught by Dr. Jeff Myers and are highly recommended for all Unbound students. The cost of the first two courses, Leadership Theory & Practice and Leadership & Management Communication, is included in the estimated cost of a student’s degree.

Due to the fact that Lumerit cannot control the actions of third-party institutions such as the target institution, it cannot be held liable for earned credits that the target institution chooses not to accept due to periodic program changes in, or a misunderstanding of degree requirements. Ultimately, the student must take responsibility for understanding the grading and transfer credit policies of their target institution.

Testing centers for the most common exams can be found using the following links: • CLEP: http://apps.collegeboard.com/cbsearch_clep/ searchCLEPTestCenter.jsp • DSST: http://www.getcollegecredit.com/search.html • Pearson VUE: http://www8.pearsonvue.com/ All students are required to present one form of government issued photo ID to the testing center at the time of testing.

Periodic Review and Collaboration

From time to time, Lumerit staff will review and collaborate on a student’s record in order to best provide the services outlined within this Program Guide. This enables the necessary members of the Lumerit team to work together to meet and exceed the expectations of the student.

All prospective international students whose country of origin is not English-speaking are required to take the TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language) before enrollment and must score either a 550 on the paper exam or 79 on the internet-based exam to be accepted into the bachelor’s program. TOEFL scores should be sent to the student’s Admissions Counselor.

Calls may be recorded for training and quality-control purposes. These recordings may be reviewed by select members of the Lumerit staff. Students may opt out of recorded Coaching Calls. This request must be made in writing and emailed to [email protected].

Students residing outside the United States are not eligible to enroll with the intent of pursuing any major that requires onsite courses unless the student is willing to relocate to the location of their target college within the United States. Due to international complexities, international students are strongly encouraged to discuss their plans thoroughly with their Admissions Counselor prior to enrolling. Due to onsite course requirements, international students may not pursue a biology or pre-med degree.

Once students enroll in their target institution, their target institution will provide them with a T-1098 form each tax year that the student incurs educational expenses with that institution.
