General Pass Assurance Terms
To be eligible for the pass assurance offered by TPR Education, LLC d/b/a The Princeton Review (“TPR,” “we,” “us,” “our”), you must be enrolled in an eligible program (as listed on this page) which you have paid in full. For clarity, you are not eligible for the pass assurance if your enrollment in an eligible program was paid for in whole or in part by an organization or government entity, including but not limited to schools, school districts, colleges, universities, student organizations, non-profit entities, and businesses.
You can use our pass assurance only once per paid purchase. For example, if you choose to repeat the program under our satisfaction guarantee, you will no longer be eligible for the pass assurance.
We present the work you must to do to benefit fully from your program in several ways: through communication from staff, including teachers, tutors and administrative staff; through the structure of our online and printed materials into lessons and homework; and through additional supplemental documents variously described as syllabi, student guides, etc. An important component of completing this work is for you to do it over a period and in a sequence that we have designed to maximize the results you can expect. It is your responsibility to consult the available resources and to contact us for any additional support you may require in understanding what is expected. We strive to be reasonably flexible in accommodating individual circumstances. However, we reserve the right to view a student as not having completed the work required to be eligible for this pass assurance should there be clear indication that actions were taken by the student to give the appearance of completion without regard for the timing or purpose of the work.
Periodically, the organizations that administer the tests referenced in these terms may choose to make changes in content, format, scoring scale, administration schedule, or other aspects of the tests that may affect the consideration of claims under this pass assurance. In such situations, we make every effort to be flexible to serve students and to communicate relevant updates or exceptions to these terms, but we reserve the right to make any adjustments to our pass assurance or any other guarantees necessary in such circumstances.
An electronic copy of your official score report should be a sharable electronic document provided by the organization administering the official test, where possible. Where such a sharable document is not provided by the organization administering the official test, you may submit a reasonable substitute such as an electronic copy of a screen captured image of an online system used by the organization administering the official test to communicate your results to you.
This pass assurance applies to U.S. and Canada customers only.
We reserve the right to update this pass assurance at any time.
