Q: What are the benefits of subscribing?
A: By subscribing to The Line, readers will enjoy unlimited access to all articles online, including the full content of all our print issues plus web exclusives. You will also receive two print issues per year. Lastly, subscribers can take full advantage of the opportunity to engage in civil discourse through online annotations and commenting.

Q: Which issue will my subscription start with and how many will I receive?
A: After subscribing, you will receive the next print issue that is published after the date of your subscription. You’ll receive two print magazines over the course of your annual subscription. You’ll also receive unlimited access to all articles on TheLineK12.com, including past issues.

Q: I received a copy of The Line in the mail with an activation code. What do I do?
A: You can unlock full access and create an account using your activation code here: TheLineK12.com/redeem.

Q: Do subscriptions auto-renew?
A: All subscriptions will auto-renew one year after purchase. We will inform you by email when your subscription is due to auto-renew.

Should you prefer your subscription not to auto-renew, you can disable this function in your account settings. Simply log in and access the user menu from the toolbar on the top right of the home page. Select “View Order” and click “Turn Off Auto-Renew.” This will end the recurring payment but continue the subscription for the remaining issues for which payment has already been processed.

Q: My subscription has ended. How do I renew?
A: Your subscription to The Line will renew automatically, but if for some reason you decide to cancel or something happens, you can re-activate your subscription any time by visiting the Subscription section of your Account management portal: Manage Subscription.

Q: Can I cancel my subscription?
A: You can cancel your subscription through your account management portal here: Manage Subscription.

Cancellations within the first two weeks will receive a full refund. Cancellations after two weeks and before the release of the second print issue of the year will receive a partial refund (half of subscription price). Cancellations after the second print issue of the year has been mailed will not receive a refund.

Q: I’m a Frontline Education client – do I need to subscribe?
A: All Frontline Education client organizations receive one complimentary subscription to The Line as part of your partnership with Frontline. This includes two print editions automatically mailed to your organization, along with unlimited web access for one user.

Your organization’s mailed copy of The Line should include a promotional code to unlock free web access for one user. You can redeem your free subscription using your activation code here: TheLineK12.com/redeem.

If you are having trouble setting up your free account, please contact support@thelinek12.com.

Additional users in the district who wish to access all content online will need to subscribe under their own account.

Q: I’ve relocated since subscribing. How do I change my address?
A: If you need to change your mailing address, you can do so in your account management portal under Subscription.

If your magazine has not yet been shipped, we can make the change. Unfortunately, if it has already shipped, we are unable to reroute your delivery.
