How do I register my students for a study if I purchased multiple workbooks or enrollments?
An online access purchase will grant you one immediate registration, so you will be able to access the online program materials to review and prepare for your study.
After your purchase check your inbox for an email from our partner Thinkific (we have partnered with them to provide you with this upgraded study experience!). In order to access your online study, you will receive a link in that email to create a FREE account with Thinkific and access your study.
You will then be able to access your online study at ascensionpress.thinkific.com.
(Note that if you have already created a Thinkific account through Ascension, you will not need to create a new one, but will then receive a link to access your online study directly.)
If you purchase multiple online course enrollments, getting your students online is as easy as forwarding them an email. Within a few days of your purchase, we'll send an email with a link you can provide to your students. When they click this link, they will create their own password for Thinkific, and then will watch the videos. This link will work for an amount of students equal to the number of online courses you bought. So, buy fifty enrollments, and fifty students get access.
If you need your students enrolled now or have any questions, please don't hesitate to give us a call at 800-376-0520, chat with us by clicking on the chat to the right or email support@ascensionpress.com
Can I purchase digital-only access to programs?
Yes! All of our studies now have the ability to purchase online access without a workbook purchase, at a price less than the cost of the workbook.
How do I access the new all-digital online course after I purchase?
After you purchase a product that includes access, check your inbox for an email from our partner Thinkific (we have partnered with them to provide you with this upgraded study experience!). In order to access your online study, you will receive a link in that email to create a FREE account with Thinkific and access your study.
You will then be able to access your online study at ascensionpress.thinkific.com.
(Note that if you have already created a Thinkific account through Ascension, you will not need to create a new one, but will then receive a link to access your online study directly.)
If you purchased multiple online course enrollments, within a few days of your purchase, you'll receive an email with a link which you can forward to your students. Then, each student can create their account and access their online course.

Do I need to log into my Ascension account first in order to access my Thinkific studies, or can I just go to my Thinktific account directly?
Once you have created your Thinkific account, you can log directly into your Thinkific studies by simply logging into your Thinkific account. We recommend you bookmark your Thinkific account page.
What’s the difference between the new all-digital courses and the old Ascension online platform?
Ascension has partnered with Thinkific to offer an enhanced online study experience that now includes not only access to the videos, but also to a digital online version of the workbook. The digital workbook is integrated throughout the study, aligning with each of the session videos to guide you through the study. This allows your participants to have 24/7 access to all the study components on any device, no matter where they are.
Our sacramental prep and teen programs also include online interactive quizzes and digital Parent and Sponsor Guides (where applicable).
Our adult sacramental prep certificate programs, Belonging (Baptism) and Joy-Filled Marriage are set up with a compliance feature to ensure participants have engaged and completed all online materials before being able to print or email a completion certificate. See individual program descriptions to learn more.
Can I track my student’s progress online?
For programs like Chosen: Your Journey Toward Confirmation, Ascension offers an additional service called group progress reporting, which lets you see when students have logged on, and what percentage of the course they have viewed and completed. Leaders who wish to purchase this service can talk to one of our representatives to discuss more details.
Our Baptism (Belonging) and Marriage preparation (Joy-Filled Marriage) programs feature compliance assurance, which means that participants must complete each session completely, including watching all of the videos and answering all of the online “check your understanding” questions. After completing all of the online requirements, participants can print and/or email a personalized Certificate of Completion, which guarantees they have completed the study.
How long will a registration give access to the new online platform?
Once a participant is registered, they will have access for one year. The only exception to this is the Chosen Confirmation and Chosen Faith Formation programs, which both grant access for two years.
I have purchased Online Access for multiple programs. Will I be able to access them all through the same account?
Yes. Once you have set up your Thinkific account you will be able to access any Ascension program you have purchased from your Thinkific dashboard page here: ascensionpress.thinkific.com
