Frequently asked questions
Does the membership auto-renew?
No. The $250 one-time year never auto-renews and we never store a card for it. When your year is up, simply place a new order in Odyssey with the next year's funds.
What category does YouDance fall under?
YouDance is a structured instructional curriculum (educational software) — sequenced courses with lessons, quizzes, and progress records. Your program administrator makes the final classification call for your award.
Can I buy YouDance out of pocket and get reimbursed?
Not in the LA GATOR program — all purchases must go through the Odyssey platform. If you prefer to pay out of pocket, our regular monthly and annual plans are always available and get the exact same curriculum.
What about refunds?
Every plan carries our 30-day money-back guarantee. For scholarship purchases, email [email protected] and we'll work with you and your program on the return so your account stays in good standing.
