Bookstore
The online Crean Lutheran bookstore offers books in both new and used formats, and in some cases you may even rent books for the year. Many of our books are available in a digital format, which allows students the freedom to access their books nearly anywhere without the hassle of carrying around the extra weight.
Where can I find a list of all required books for my classes?
Required books can be found through the bookstore website link below. A Crean Lutheran student issued email address must be used when purchasing textbooks, this will allow students to view their Canvas courses and their required materials to purchase. Once you view your course list, click on your class (e.g., Algebra I) and you will see the required textbooks and what choices you have for new, used, rental, etc.
What is the return policy if I change a class?
Students can return books up to 30 days after the school start date in the ORIGINAL condition that they were delivered in (new, used, etc). We would recommend not opening shrink-wrap, access cards, or writing names in brand new books/items until the student's schedule is set as these items can not be returned after being opened or used. Once they have been opened or used, returns will not be accepted since the item will not be able to be sold again. Parents will be responsible for return shipping and placing a new order if they drop a class.
In the event that you should need to return an item, please contact the customer service team at 1-877-284-6744. You can also contact them via email or live chat by visiting the Virtual Bookstore at clshs.etechcampus.com.
Questions
If you have questions, please call (877) 284-6744 or email bookstore@etechcampus.com

Please remember to call the Attendance Line at (949) 398-6563, or you can email the attendance staff at attendance@creanlutheran.org, any time if your child is going to be out for the day or late due to an appointment.

Course Offerings
Graduation Requirements
Technology: Orientation, Laptop Requirements, Student Emails, Canvas
Technology Orientation
All new students must attend a Technology Orientation. It is important that at least one parent is present during the orientation. The Technology Orientation is designed to help new students get started with Canvas before classes begin. Canvas, our Learning Management System (LMS), contains all student courses, assignments, due dates, and daily grades. Parents can create Canvas parent accounts to observe their student's grades and work.
Laptop Requirements
Technology is an integral part of the educational process at Crean Lutheran High School. The school utilizes the latest technologies to enhance education and further equip students to impact their world for Christ. To help fulfill this mission, all students are required to purchase and bring their own laptop computer that meets the Laptop Requirements. In order for students to be allowed to access the Internet and use technology systems while in school it is required that both the parent and the student read and sign the Technology Use Agreement.
Student Emails
Each student will be assigned a Crean Lutheran High School student email address. Crean Lutheran High School requires the use of student email as an effective and efficient way to improve communication between students, faculty members, and administrative staff. The primary purpose of student email is to support teaching and learning. Crean Lutheran High School email accounts are housed on a Google mail server, thereby giving the student access to G Suite applications (word processor, spreadsheet, and presentation software) and Google Drive (online cloud storage). These features allow teachers and students to share information housed in these file areas with others at Crean Lutheran High School.
Canvas
All courses at Crean Lutheran High School utilize technology and Canvas Learning Management System (LMS) to provide a highly interactive, Christ-centered learning environment where students interact with the teacher, fellow students, and the content to master the course-specific learning outcomes. Students will use their Crean Lutheran High School student email account to log into Canvas in order to access course homework and grades. Parents may sign up for a free Canvas Observer account to view their student’s grades in Canvas.

Tuition & Fee Payment Instructions (FACTS)
Tuition Payments
Every family is required to have a FACTS account to pay tuition, re-enrollment, and other fees. Tuition payments are due on the first of every month (delinquent after the 10th). If you elect automatic online payments in FACTS, you will receive a confirmation email with payment dates and amounts once you select a payment plan. A $30.00 late fee is charged if a payment is received after the 10th. If you are submitting payments by check, please allow three to five business days for processing.
FACTS account LOGIN
Incidental/Fee Payments
Option 1: Pay the incidental fee by the listed due date online through FACTS or submit a check to the front desk.
Option 2: In your FACTS account, select AUTO PAY to allow incidental fees to process automatically on the due date.
If you have not set up your FACTS account, please email Erika Walter, Student Accounts Administrator, at walter@creanlutheran.org
Financial Aid Introduction
The Financial Aid process opens in November of each year for returning families.
As a returning Crean Lutheran High School family with a current financial aid award, you have 3 options in regard to your upcoming financial aid award. Please review the Financial Aid Options (below) and then sign into your FACTS account starting November 1. Once you are signed in, click on 2022-23 Financial Aid Options form on the right side of your home screen and complete this form by Monday, November 22. Failure to make a selection by the deadline may jeopardize the school’s ability to guarantee the current financial aid award. If you do not have a FACTS account set up, please contact Erika Walter, walter@creanlutheran.org, or 949-387-1199.
Financial aid is awarded individually to each enrolled student. If you will have a change in the number of enrolled students due to a new incoming student, you have the option to accept the same financial award for your new student that you presently have for your currently enrolled student (option 2) or you can apply for additional financial aid (option 3). If you have a 2022 graduating student and a returning student, your financial aid award will be reduced due to the fact that financial aid is awarded per student and you will have one less student in attendance.
Financial Aid Options
1. FINANCIAL AID NO LONGER NEEDED
Pay it forward: If the Lord has blessed your family and you do not anticipate needing financial aid next year, please let us know so we can use those funds next year for a deserving family with financial need.
2. SAME FINANCIAL AID
No Financial Aid Application Required: Families who feel their current financial aid award, per student, is sufficient do not need to complete the FACTS Grant and Aid application and should select this option. Financial aid awards will automatically be deducted from the 2023-23 annual tuition in FACTS.
3. ADDITIONAL FINANCIAL AID
Application Required: If your financial circumstances have changed and you wish to request additional financial aid, you must complete the 2022-23 FACTS Grant and Aid application by December 31.
I want to apply for Financial Aid

Select the correct application year which you are applying for financial aid and click on the green "Start Application" button. If you are applying mid-semester, please select the current school year. .

You will need to provide information on your income, expenses, assets and liabilities as well as answer some general questions.
- You will need to submit the $35 non-refundable application fee directly to FACTS. Please note: Credit cards are accepted for the financial aid application fee, but are NOT accepted for tuition and fee payments.
After completing the FACTS online application, FACTS will provide instructions to scan and upload your tax return information and W-2s.
- Before January 31, 2022 applications:

Tuition & Fee Refund Policy
Crean Lutheran High School appreciates the timely submission of payments for tuition and incidental fees. If tuition or fees need to be refunded to a family, typically the person/entity that submitted the payment will request a refund. Only the person/entity that submitted the refund is eligible for the refund. If the financially responsible party would like to have the refund issued to a third party, we will need verification of this information and the third party’s information in writing.
Refunds will be processed according to the following priority:
1. If there is outstanding tuition balance, the credit will be applied to the next tuition payment.
2. If there is an outstanding incidental fee, the credit will be applied to the next incidental fee due.
3. If there are no fees or tuition due, the credit will remain on the FACTS account to be applied to a future incidental fee.
4. If the student withdraws or graduates and there are no future fees anticipated, a refund check will be issued.
If a family has a financial hardship and requires the refund immediately, steps 1-3 will be disregarded and a refund check will be issued to the financially responsible party. Please email the Director of Finance, Pam Pindroh, pindroh@creanlutheran.org, if you need assistance.
