BD Advising and Retention Instruments
Pricing
The contract period and the fee structure cover 12 months. When a contract is initiated, the school is invoiced for the setup fee and asked to provide an estimated number of copies of the College Persistence Questionnaire (CPQ) it intends to purchase. It may, at its discretion, also include payment for the estimated number of copies. Unused copies will be fully refunded once the testing is complete. The fee for copies that were not prepaid will be invoiced either when the testing is complete or at the end of the contract period, whichever comes first.
Prior to surpassing the estimated number of copies, the school will be given the option to increase its purchase. Otherwise, the testing will end when the estimated number has been reached.
There is no charge for invalid CPQ copies, such as duplicates on the same student, premature abandonment of the testing session, or obvious inattentiveness of the respondent (e.g., same answer given to all items).
