How do I return the DVDs?
Abeka Academy has added a convenient feature for customers living in the U.S. and U.S. territories when returning DVDs. Follow the instructions below on printing a Return Label and simply place the package with the DVDs in the mailbox or drop it off at the local Post Office. (Please note: International customers will receive an invoice that should be attached to the package for Customs.)

Who can be the student’s supervisor and what do they need to be able to do?
