Purchasing Options
If you do not have a Pivot Interactives account and you wish to purchase access, you can go to our store and purchase access for the first time. If you have an account already, you will need to renew that account instead.
Classroom/Institutional License
These are licenses for one or more teachers in a school or district where the seats are paid for by the teacher, school, or district. There is no cost to the students in an institution-paid course.
Seats may be added to a license at any time and are pro-rated based on the license's expiration date.
Any number of instructors may be on a license. Total student enrollment for all instructors on the license must be less than or equal to the number of seats purchased.
All on the license expire at the end of the license period. There are no rollovers from one license period to the next.
District License
Includes all features of a Classroom/Institution License
Advanced Rostering and SSO
Advance LMS Integration
Reporting dashboard with usage insights
On-demand or virtual professional development
Note: There are no rollovers from one license period to the next.
Student Pay License
These are licenses for one or more teachers in a school or district where the student pays the seats. There is no cost to the teacher, school, or district in a student-paid course.
Upon joining your class in Pivot Interactives, students will be prompted for payment before they can join the class.
Students can enter either their credit card information or enter a code purchased from your institution's bookstore.
All student-pay seats expire at the end of the purchase term: high school seats last for 365 days; college seats last for 135 days. They are not transferrable but can be refunded in some instances.
Course Codes
These are bookstore codes purchased by resellers.
A student can use each code to enter a student pay class.
These codes do not expire and are not refundable.
