Course Withdrawal Policy
We understand that life circumstances can change. Here's what families need to know about withdrawing from a course through our LUOA affiliate program.
Withdrawal Deadlines
1. Semester Courses (22 weeks total)
-
Withdraw within 16 weeks → A “W” (Withdrawn) will appear on the transcript but won’t affect GPA.
-
Withdraw after 17 weeks or more → Not permitted. Students must complete the course or receive an “FN” (Failure for Non-Completion), which does affect GPA.
2. Full-Year Courses (41 weeks total)
-
Withdraw within 32 weeks → “W” on transcript, no GPA impact.
-
Withdraw after 37 weeks → Not permitted. Students receive an “FN” if the course isn't completed.
3. Conditions for Withdrawal
-
Must be requested by a parent, guardian, or the Masterpiece Academy staff member (Affiliate POC).
-
The student must not have progressed beyond Module 1 for a full tuition refund.
-
After that, refunds or prorated tuition depend on LUOA’s financial policy.
4. Reopening Withdrawn Courses
-
Once officially withdrawn, a course cannot be reopened unless explicitly approved by LUOA administration.
5. Consequences of Non-Completion
If students stop progressing in a course for 30+ days, they may be administratively withdrawn and receive an “FN” (Failure for Non-Completion). This grade negatively affects GPA, and no credit is awarded.
Full tuition includes access to the LUOA and the Masterpiece Academy’s enrichment curriculum, live online or in-person instruction, pacing support, enrichment classes, and inquiry-based STEM projects.
A one-time setup fee of $50 applies for those who opt to pay monthly.

Section 504 Accommodations through LUOA
At The Masterpiece Academy, we believe every student deserves a learning environment where they can thrive. Through our partnership with Liberty University Online Academy (LUOA), we offer Section 504 Plans to provide reasonable academic accommodations for students with qualifying disabilities.
📘 What is Section 504?
Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 is a civil rights law prohibiting discrimination based on disability. It ensures that students with physical or mental impairments that substantially limit a major life activity (like learning, reading, concentrating, etc.) receive equal access to educational opportunities.
Who Qualifies?
Students may qualify for a 504 Plan if they have a documented condition that significantly impacts a major life activity, such as:
-
Learning
-
Reading
-
Communicating
-
Concentrating
-
Writing
-
Other physical or cognitive tasks
What Accommodations May Be Offered?
Reasonable accommodations may include:
-
Read-aloud options for quizzes/tests
-
Extra time or flexible pacing
-
Verbal responses scribed by a parent or proctor
-
Simplified or clarified directions
-
Use of basic calculators
Each plan is individualized to meet the student’s unique needs.
📝 How to Request a 504 Plan
Parents or guardians should:
-
Contact our office to initiate a request.
-
Submit documentation of the student’s diagnosis and learning needs.
-
Work with LUOA’s Academic Support Team, who will evaluate the request and create a formal 504 Plan if appropriate.
Once approved, the plan is shared with teachers and academic staff, and accommodations begin immediately.
💡 Built-in Flexibility
LUOA’s online model naturally supports many students through:
-
Self-paced coursework
-
No penalties for late work (except Enhanced/Dual Enrollment courses)
-
Teacher communication and feedback are built into every course
📍 Note: Enhanced and Dual Enrollment courses may have different accommodation limits due to academic structure.
