The "Getting Up To Today" program is divided into two parts: Foundations Basic and Foundations Intermediate.  Each part is accessible with the purchase of a subscription.  Each subscription makes it possible for an enrolled student to receive the online materials needed to complete each of the classes for each level.   The completed class materials must be submitted to the Searchlight^® Virtual School in order to receive credit for the classes.

Important things to know about the Searchlight^® Subscription Plans:

• The subscription plan is purchased through PayPal^®.
• You may log in to an existing PayPal account, or pay with a credit card.
• PayPal will walk you through the subscription procedure and process your order.
• PayPal will send you an e-mail confirming your subscription.  (You should print this for your records.)
• Your subscription is good for one year from the date of the purchase.  On the one-year anniversary of your purchase, your subscription will expire. 
• To continue using the online classes beyond the initial one-year subscription timeframe, renew your subscription.
• When a student completes the classes in the Foundations Basic Certification or Certificate of Completion, he or she may move on to the next level by purchasing a new subscription for the Foundations Intermediate Certification or Certificate of Completion.
• If you encounter difficulties with the PayPal process, please call us immediately.  We will work out another payment method.

Note: Catechists who are part of a group underwriting by a parish must still complete the Searchlight^® Virtual School enrollment process.  This may be done at any time, but they may not begin registering for online classes until the parish has completed the group enrollment process. Catechists who are part of a group underwriting do not have to purchase an individual subscription plan, since the training fee is being underwritten by their parish.  Check with your parish PCL to see if you are part of a group underwriting process.  Some parishes may prefer individual Catechists to purchase a subscription plan and submit the receipt for reimbursement.  Reimbursement is up to the discretion of each pastor.

Once you have purchased your subscription plan, click on the "Register/Download" button at the top of the screen.  On that page you will do two things:

1. Register for each class before you begin using it. (Registration instructions are provided on that page.)
2. Click on the link for the name of the class for which you are registering. An electronic PDF form will open in a separate window.
3. Fill in the information requested on the form. 
4. Send the Registration Form back to us electronically by clicking the submit button.
5. When we receive your class registration form, we will send the class materials as a PDF attachment in an e-mail.
• Save the PDF document. (You can save it on your desktop or in a designated folder that you set up.)
• You can input data directly into the PDF, or print the PDF and input the data by hand.
• Always save your work!  If you close the PDF without saving your data, the information will be lost.  
• The completed class materials must be sent to the Searchlight^® Virtual School in order to receive credit for the class.
• You can return the class materials electronically by clicking the submit button, or by regular mail.
