Yes. Ollivate subscriptions renew automatically each month or year unless they are canceled before the renewal date.
We designed subscriptions this way because many healthcare professionals use Ollivate across multiple stages of their career. Some learners start while preparing to get into programs, others use it during class and board prep, and many earn continuing education credits throughout their careers.
Note: The only Ollivate product that does not renew is Olli Coins. These are one-time purchases that allow you to earn individual continuing education credits (one coin = one CE).
If you ever have questions about your subscription, feel free to reach out to support@ollivate.com and our team will be happy to help.
-
Yes. You can switch or cancel your plan anytime from your account settings.
If you’ve graduated or are ready for the next stage of your career, you can move to a different Ollivate product. Many learners start with tools to help them get into programs, move through class and board prep, and then earn continuing education credits.
To switch plans, simply go to the menu bar inside app.ollivate.com and choose the plan that fits where you are in your learning journey.
If you cancel your subscription, your access will continue through the end of your current billing period, and the cancellation will take effect at your next renewal date. Subscriptions can’t be changed mid-cycle.
