Assessment”);

ii. A maximum of four (4) additional ALEKS on-line placement assessments (the

“Reassessments”), to be taken within one (1) year of the Initial Placement Assessment; and,

iii. Access to a 12-month Prep and Learning Module (the “Learning Module”) to begin once the student chooses a module of the Learning Module and begins using the Learning Module by clicking on the module (the “Learning Module Commencement’). For each ALEKS PPL Unit (as defined below), the student must make the Learning Module Commencement within the given cohort in which completion of the Initial Placement Assessment for that ALEKS PPL Unit occurs.

b. For Subscriber:

i. Scoring and electronic reporting of assessment results to Subscriber;

ii. Consultation regarding transfer of data from ALEKS PPL Product to Subscriber’s database;

iii. On-campus training and WebEx training to Subscriber, faculty, and administrators;

3. Fees . Subscriber agrees pay to MH the fee of $15.00 per student for each student that accesses the Initial Placement Assessment (“ALEKS PPL Unit”) on a standalone basis in a given cohort (the “ALEKS PPL Fee”). An ALEKS PPL Unit is considered “accessed” when a student logs into the appropriate website and receives a placement score based on the ALEKS Initial Placement Assessment. A student who accesses ALEKS PPL on different occasions in different cohorts (e.g., “Fall 2023” vs. “Fall 2024”) is considered to have used different ALEKS PPL Units for billing purposes.
