mta Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 I've done a bit of a search and seen posts before about this. My child has been using the individual open enrollment program but it is no longer offered. We're not affiliated with a school so can't join through their open enrollment program. Sadly, we can't really afford the full program at the moment as it's many thousands of dollars per year. A previous poster mentioned that you can make a 'school' group of homeschoolers. Is anyone doing this at the moment with a vacancy we could fill? Alternatively, would anyone like to make a new group with me? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wapiti Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 Hmmm... the link I have appears to work? Is this the one you have? http://epgy.stanford.edu/openenroll/index.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mta Posted January 11, 2012 Author Share Posted January 11, 2012 Yes, that's it! We can still login but cannot reenroll for the next period. I emailed them and they sent a very polite but firm refusal! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wapiti Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 What a shame! I wonder why. There is a member who in the past had organized a group for group open enrollment, but I don't know if there's a current group. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mta Posted January 11, 2012 Author Share Posted January 11, 2012 She said that it was just a beta program and was not being continued, which is a pity as it was absolutely excellent for us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest tokinouta Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 I would go in on one. Sounds like a good plan. Maybe you can get a group started on here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scuff Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 melmichigan heads up one here on the boards. I've considered it several times for my son. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dereksurfs Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 (edited) I would go in on one. Sounds like a good plan. Maybe you can get a group started on here. Yeah, this is a great idea. I am also interested. I just called Stanford to get more information on their current Open Enrollment policy. The women I spoke with was very helpful. She explained that the school simply can't handle all the questions and other administrative tasks from thousands of individuals in the Open Enrollment program. With group representatives it becomes much more scalable and manageable. For the low price they are charging I would agree that it makes more sense. One of the frustrations that they find is that while people are initially interested they don't want to volunteer to take on additional responsibilities of being a liason responsible for a group.

mta Posted January 12, 2012 Author Share Posted January 12, 2012 Super! If seven other people are interested we'd eagerly form a group. Happy to try the group liaison thing too. I will also send a message to melmichigan to make sure she has no vacancies. Thank you all so much! I think the group program is probably better value for money anyway, as you get the language arts program as well as the math program.

Guest blissfule Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 My daughter and I were shocked and disappointed to learn that she couldn't re-enroll this time. So glad to find this thread and understand the administrative reasoning behind it. Definitely consider me in when you form a group! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest blissfule Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 Oh, and I know it looks bad that I've only posted one time just for this, but I've been lurking for ages. My 5yo is gifted and this forum has been reassuring as I navigate these uncharted waters. She's zoomed through to grade 2.6 on her EPGY math, having joined for the first time in July. She has 3 younger siblings and the computer program is a lifesaver for us so she stays challenged and I don't have to provide much input.

Greenmama2 Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 Does anyone know if they have changed their policy to open in up to those outside of the US and Canada? If so, you can count us in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terrilth Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 My 6 and 8 year olds are currently doing this through open enrollment. I'm confused. Does this mean that we won't be able to pay and re-enroll when our time is up (which would be a couple of months?) I guess I need to get over to the yahoo group and ask there, eh?

Guest blissfule Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 I'm confused. Does this mean that we won't be able to pay and re-enroll when our time is up (which would be a couple of months?) I guess I need to get over to the yahoo group and ask there, eh? I didn't know there was a Yahoo! group, but that's what happened to me. I tried to re-enroll and the re-enrollment button said "Pay $0 to re-enroll". I thought the price was a little low, but I tried and tried to pay and finally submitted a support ticket. This is the response I received: Hi Elisa, Unfortunately, the EPGY Individual Open Enrollment K-7 Math course is no longer available. If you wish to continue with self-supported courses with us you will need to enroll in the group Open Enrollment Program. Go to https://epgy.stanford.edu/school/openenroll/index and click "Get Started" in the middle to begin the registration process. Please email epgy-admin@epgy.stanford.edu with any further questions. -- Thank You, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mta Posted January 20, 2012 Author Share Posted January 20, 2012 I am so happy to have epgy back in our household! If, like me, you have missed it, melmichigan has kindly agreed to take on extra people. Thank you all for your help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ohdanigirl Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 Does anyone know if they have changed their policy to open in up to those outside of the US and Canada? If so, you can count us in. I have been trying to find this out for awhile. How does this work. Do they block you if you have internet access outside of the US. We are in Mexico, just a few minutes from the border. Having to cross everyday would not be an option. i do have a US billing address, though. Danielle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

melmichigan Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 Just to clarify, this thread is referring to the cancellation of the Individual Open Enrollment Math Program, not the Group OE program. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest imari Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 Hello, Just joined the forum. Found this post and am confused. I understand from other threads that the language arts open enrollment is for schools or groups. This morning I signed up my child for K7 Mathematics Individual Open Enrollment at a cost of $45 for three months. The enrollment is set to expire in April. The renewal option to extend enrollment to July is for $0 and I am unable to renew. I admit I am not the smartest person on earth but I am stumped why I am able to enroll for an initial 3 months and unable to renew. Unless the initial enrollment is considered a trial period. Any thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mommymilkies Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 I know this thread is old, but I was looking into putting my oldest dd in. Could someone give me more info on joining a group? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SunnyDays Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 I'm going to bump this back up with the same question.... are there still spots available in a group? I haven't heard much about this although I've seen it referenced on the board. It looks fantastic and would be great for my DS. Curious to look at it more if there's any way to get involved... Thanks!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Runningmom80 Posted May 12, 2012 Share Posted May 12, 2012 So, do you guys use this as your main math curriculum, or is this supplemental? I'm very interested, but sort of confused. :bigear: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
