I have used Edgenuity for years. Will I lose my records or can you bring them over?
Unfortunately, for those of you who used Edgenuity through Homeschool.com or directly with ChildU, Time4Learning cannot bring over your records. We have investigated this possibility and cannot find a way. We are sorry for the inconvenience. When you sign up for Time4Learning, you get to place your child. If you would like to have a special configuration for your child which is not provided for in the registration process such as the fifth grade math program but the fourth grade language arts and social studies but no science, please follow up your registration with an email. We will be more than happy to oblige. We try to answer all emails within half a business day (or 24 hours on the weekends).
