Start ASL launched a new learning platform in April 2026 with:

  • Improved course organization

  • Online Guided support options

  • Practice Sessions

  • Office Hours

Students currently enrolled in Legacy Platform subscriptions may be eligible to transition to the new platform.

  • Most students are encouraged to complete their current course level before switching.

  • Transition options may vary depending on your current subscription.

What Happens When My Subscription Expires?

When a subscription expires:

  • Access to subscription-based course content ends.

  • Certificates, grades, and course records remain associated with your account.

  • Continuing access generally requires a new enrollment or active subscription.

If you are a Legacy Platform student whose subscription has expired, you may need to enroll in one of the current Start ASL course options to continue learning.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will I Lose Access Immediately If I Cancel?

No.

Cancellation stops future renewals, but access typically remains available through the end of the current billing period.


Can I Reactivate My Subscription Later?

In many cases, yes.

Available options depend on the product and platform involved. Legacy platform users will need to switch the new platform when reactivating. 


Can I Switch From Online Self-Study to Online Guided?

In many cases, yes. However, coursework is not transferred between these two course types. 

A member of our team may assist with the transition and explain any pricing differences.


Can I Switch From the Legacy Platform to the New Platform?

Yes.

Many Legacy Platform students choose to transition to the new platform.

Before switching, be aware that course progress does not transfer between platforms.

For most students, completing the current course level before switching is recommended.

We may be able to provide a prorated credit to allow you to switch before your legacy subscription expires. 


Why Can't I See My Subscription?

Subscription management instructions differ between the Legacy Platform and the New Platform.

If you are unable to locate your subscription information, additional account review may be required.
