What is JIST’s preview policy?
We think the best way for you to “approve” a particular JIST product for your situation is to take a firsthand look. Our approval policy is guided by our guarantee stated above, with a few guidelines noted below.
- Preview returns. Must be made in 30–45 days.
- Career Assessment Instruments. Qualified organizations can order no-cost approval copies of JIST-published tests–use the sample order codes that appear with assessment descriptions.
- Workbooks and Books. For course adoptions or large-quantity purchases, JIST will provide one no-cost approval copy of a JIST-published book to a teacher, trainer, or counselor (one per organization, please). Send a request letter to JIST on your organization’s letterhead, and please specify the course(s) and potential enrollment(s) for which the book(s) is being considered.
- DVDs and Software. JIST sends invoices for all video and software products you order; returns in condition to resell are credited to your account. Please check your organization’s policies as some require purchase orders for any items ordered, whether for purchase or on approval.
