For counselors and schools
Caveat Academic Services is independent college preparation for high schoolers, including one-on-one support through college courses taken online, most often ASU's. This page gives counselors the facts in plain language, the questions only the school can answer, and the materials to hand a family. Nothing here asks for an email.
Five points a counselor can repeat as they are.
ASU leaves both to the school, and families often assume the answer is yes. A counselor's call on these two points is the most useful thing a family can hear before enrolling.
Free, no sign-in, safe to forward to a family or post on a school site.
When eight or more students at one school or co-op take a course, Caveat runs it as a group for $175 per student per course. The group meets once a week for a 60-minute session, follows a shared pacing calendar, and each family receives a Friday report. At the end of the course the school receives a summary of who finished and how. Students still enroll with ASU on their own, still pay ASU's own fees, and still do every assignment themselves. Groups of 3 to 7 students run as a course club at $225 per student per course.

After the family's free call, and with the family's permission, Caveat sends the referring counselor a short note on what was decided. From 2027, a family can also give a counselor read-only access to the student's pace and credits through Spotter, the Caveat family app. The text below is ready to paste into an email to a parent.

Counselors and school staff are welcome to book the same free call a family would, to ask anything about the courses or the program.
Beyond college courses
Caveat also helps with the parts of college prep a busy counseling office may not have time for: college lists with real net prices, essay feedback where the student writes every word, financial aid walkthroughs, homeschool transcripts, study skills, and the first semester of college. Families can buy one piece at a time. Grade by grade · all services and prices.
Outside Arizona?
Students in any state can take the same online university courses at the same price, and Caveat's services cost the same. Arizona's public universities publish how they count each course, so Arizona families get the clearest picture. Elsewhere, each college decides for itself, so how far the credit goes depends on the colleges on the student's list. Caveat checks those colleges before the student enrolls.
Prices as of October 2026. Caveat Academic Services offers independent college preparation services and is not affiliated with Arizona State University. ASU sets its own fees, dates and policies. Students do all of their own coursework. Each college decides which credits it accepts; Caveat does not promise that credit will transfer.
