Frequently Asked Questions

Q: We are a school that purchased StudentLink over a year ago. We are not part of a board wide purchase. How can we purchase access to the updates?
A: Simply use the subscription fax back order form hot-linked above.

Q: What is the cost to have continued access to the updates for another school year?
A: The cost is $50.00 (per school) plus GST/PST. Please make the school cheque payable to StudentLink Canada Ltd. c/o 1542 Rockaway Street, Oshawa, Ontario, L1K 0C9. Be sure to include your school name and the e-mail contact.

Q: Can we purchase a year's worth of updates in November?
A: You can purchase later in the school year but your update contract always runs out on September 14th. It is to your advantage to arrange uninterrupted service as early in the school year as possible.

Q: If the Updates page is unavailable, how will the updates be accessed?
A: Each month the list of eligible clients will be e-mailed a hyperlink to the location of the update page. It will change every month.

Q: If we choose not to update, can we still use StudentLink?
A: Absolutely. You will notice over time that the number of dead links will increase as the Internet changes.

Q: Can you tell me more about the monthly updates?
A: Each month the StudentLink database of 10,000+ links to the web is checked manually by a team of teachers contracted for the task. Each month all dead links are removed and replaced with suggestions provided by teachers from across the province as well as our regular SL contributors. We work to keep the number of unavailable links in SL to one percent or less at any given moment. The fewer the number of dead links, the better the chances of students staying on task and teachers staying happy.
