LOMA typically releases new and revised course materials on a quarterly schedule. New or revised course materials become available as close to the first business day of each calendar-year quarter (January, April, July, or October) as possible.
Have more questions about revisions? See the FAQs below!
It is the student’s responsibility to ensure that they study from the correct materials. To help students and Ed Reps make sure that they do have the right version of the materials in the event of a revision, we've put together these FAQs.
We include release dates for new and revised course materials in LOMA’s Professional Development Catalog, on our website, in course descriptions on LOMA’s learning system, and in the Ed Rep Contact newsletter.
Enrollments purchased after the release date will be based on the newly-revised materials. The material in your online course or available through your course portal will be up-to-date, and LOMA’s learning system will deliver the correct version of the course’s exam as determined by the date of your enrollment. You do need to make sure that you aren't studying from any older, printed study materials.
For courses with revised course materials, enrollments purchased prior to the release date will be based on the previously-assigned course materials, so if you're already enrolled, you should continue studying those materials. You'll have six months of access to the correct study materials via the “Upcoming Learning” section of LOMA’s learning system; the system will deliver the correct version of the course’s exam as determined by the date of your enrollment. You do need to make sure that you aren't studying from any older, printed study materials.
Yes. Because students have a rolling six-month course access period, multiple students enrolled in the same course may be studying from different course materials, depending upon their enrollment date.
The materials available through "Upcoming Learning" in the learning system will be correct for your enrollment. You can check the publication date and title of any printed text to make sure it matches them. If you're checking materials for an upcoming enrollment, consult the Professional Development Catalog to see whether or not your course is being revised.
LOMA will not reimburse fees for students who study from incorrect assignments, so please double-check this and contact us if you're not sure.
Course extensions are not available if a course’s materials have been updated since you enrolled in the course. You may re-enroll in the course, but the new enrollment will be based on the new course materials. We'll send you emails to remind you to complete your course before they expire, to avoid a change in assigned materials.
