Fee Waiver users!!! 7 Sage New Platform will not transfer fee waiver into new system??

Hi all, I'm wondering if anyone who qualified for a fee waiver here and through LSAC has been told that their fee waiver will not transfer to the new site and that they will have to reapply and reenroll in the fee waiver program in order to use the new site at a reduced rate? I have the fee waiver and as a low income, 1st gen applicant it has been a life saver, I have already spent thousands on study for this exam and 7 sage's fee waiver + recycled test prep books allowed me to spend time more time studying and less time worry about how to afford to do it!

I emailed an admin to see about getting onto the new site and was told "We've made a few changes to our fee waiver program. While there isn't a way to directly transfer your fee waiver access to the new site, I'd be glad to help you re-enroll." the admin then said that the reduced cost would be higher than the previous waiver program. I find it a bit unethical that 7 sage would change their policy on the waiver programs mid subscription for those who already have it, its like we have to choose between keeping our waiver or having an enhanced learning experience with the new site... the issue isn't the money here because it is still reduced but again, applying to law school is extremely expensive, waivers exist so as to not bar people who can't afford it from trying to apply. Everyone situation is different and these are extremely challenging times, making this sort of change mid year, mid subscription feels really unfair and inconsiderate.

Has anyone had a different experience with this or can someone direct me to an admin I can speak to about this more? mostly just venting here but really disappointed in 7 sage rn and wondering if I should continue elsewhere

I totally get it. I'm not transferring bc I don't feel like fixing my data this far in, but yeah, I understand. Though I will say I think 7sage still has the cheapest waiver option. I know some other sites are still a higher amount a month

i have a fee waiver and it transferred everything automatically. all i did was go to the new website, log in as normal, and everything was perfect.

@hannueyobBK Your fee waiver account on classic 7Sage (this site) is active. You can continue to use it. You don't have to enroll on the new site.

But if you want to enroll on the new site, you need to sign up for a new account on 7sage.com and enroll again there. It's $1/month.
