Go to Get started, choose a service and fill in the form. For priced services you see the price before you pay; for others you get a quote. You can create your account in the same form.

Can I cancel an order?
You can cancel an unpaid order at any time. For paid orders, request a refund from the order page; see the refund policy.

US dollars.
Can I pay a deposit?
Yes, for orders of $500 or more you can pay 50% first and the balance before downloading the finished work.
Will I get a receipt?
Yes. A receipt is emailed after each payment, and all receipts are in Payments in your dashboard, ready to print or save as PDF.
Experts
Who will work on my order?
An expert in your subject and level: a writer, editor, tutor or advisor vetted by iBee.
Can I talk to my expert?
Yes, through the messages on your order page. For your privacy, phone numbers, emails and outside links are not allowed in messages.
Can I choose the same writer again?
Yes. Enter their ID in "Preferred writer" on the order form and we will assign them if they are available.
Revisions and refunds
What if I am not happy with the work?
Ask for a free revision from the order page within the revision period, as long as the changes stay within your original instructions. A revision is usually ready within 48 hours.
Do you give refunds?
Yes, depending on the stage of the order: 100% before an expert is assigned, 70% if less than half of the time has passed, and 100% if we deliver late. See the refund policy.
Privacy and files
Will my school know I used iBee?
We never contact your school or share that you use iBee. See confidentiality.
Who can see my name and email?
Only you and the iBee staff who need it. Experts see you only by an account number.
How long do you keep my files?
12 months after your order is finished. Download anything you want to keep.
Online courses
Will you take my online course for me?
No. We tutor, plan and give feedback on your own work, but we never log into your account, take quizzes or exams, or complete graded work for you. See our academic integrity policy.
Which providers do you support?
Sophia Learning, Study.com, Saylor Academy, StraighterLine and others. See online courses.
Credit transfer
Will the courses you suggest definitely transfer?
Your university always makes the final decision. Each suggestion in your roadmap is labelled by how certain it is (verified, probable match, confirm with university), so you know exactly what to check.
How is credit mapping priced?
Per class mapped against your degree requirements; see the pricing page.
Certifications
Which certifications can you help with?
CompTIA A+, Network+, Security+, CySA+ and PenTest+, Cisco CCNA, and AWS, Microsoft and ISC2 certifications.
Do you guarantee I will pass?
No one can guarantee an exam result, but a plan built on the current exam objectives and regular practice gives you the best chance.
Nursing
Can you help with NCLEX preparation?
Yes, with study plans and tutoring. iBee is not a nursing school and does not grant credit or licensure.
Account and technical
I did not get the confirmation email.
Check your spam folder, then use "Send it again" in your dashboard. If it still does not arrive, contact support.
How do I turn on two-step sign-in?
In your dashboard open Security and choose "Set up two-factor". You need an authenticator app such as Google Authenticator or Microsoft Authenticator.
