Who Gets Access to Logos?

All for-credit degree or diploma-seeking students are granted access to Logos.

How Long Will I Have Access to Logos?

All for-credit degree or diploma-seeking students will have access to Logos as long as they are enrolled at RPTS.

Can I Access Logos After I Graduate?

Students are granted a permanent Logos license, which they may take into ministry after paying the "Digital Resources and Library Fee" for nine academic quarters (3 years). If upon graduation, you have paid the "Digital Resources and Library Fee" for fewer than nine quarters, you will be given an opportunity to purchase the remainder of your Logos license, granting you a permanent Logos license. Contact the Library Staff for more details.

Can I Maintain Access to Logos if I am on a Leave of Absence?

You may maintain access to Logos, as well as the other Library resources if you continue to pay the "Digital Resources and Library Fee" during the leave of absence.

Can I buy out the ramaining "Digital Resources and Library Fee" if I Withdraw from RPTS or Transfer to Another Seminary?

No. Permanent Logos licenses are only granted to those who graduate from RPTS or take courses part-time and have paid the "Digital Resources and Library Fee" for nine academic quarters before they graduate.

What Happens if I Withdraw or Transfer from RPTS Before Being Granted a Permanent License?

If you withdraw or transfer from RPTS before being granted a permanent license, your RPTS Logos package will be halted, and you will lose access to all of the resources and tools provided by RPTS. You will, however, retain ownership of everything that you purchased on your own (before, during, and after) you were granted an RPTS license.

Does the "Digital Resources and Library Fee" only pay for my Logos subscription?

No. While a portion of the "Digital Resources and Library Fee" off-sets the cost of Logos, this fee also subsidizes a significant number of other resources that the Seminary purchases as a benefit to students. Some of these resources include but are not limited to ATLAS, Early English Books Online (EEBO), GSuite, Inter-Library Loan, Logos, and Moodle.

Will I Continue to Pay the "Digital Resources and Library Fee" After I Have Received a Permanent Logos License?

Yes. The "Digital Resources and Library Fee" subsidizes a significant number of resources that the Seminary purchases as a benefit to students. Some of these resources include but are not limited to ATLAS, Early English Books Online (EEBO), GSuite, Inter-Library Loan, Logos, and Moodle.

Who Chose the Resources that are Included in our Logos package?

The Faculty at RPTS hand-selected all of the resources included in your Logos packages.

Does Logos Include Textbooks for My Classes?

RPTS has provided 58% of the required course textbooks for core classes in your Logos package. A list of the course texts included in this package can be found here (Course Texts).

Can I Purchase Resources to Include in my Logos Account?

Yes. Once you set up your account with Logos, it is your account, and you can add to it as you wish.

What Happens to the Resources that I have Purchased if I Withdraw or Transfer from RPTS Before Being Granted a Permanant License?

If you withdraw or transfer from RPTS before being granted a permanent license, your RPTS Logos license will be halted, and you will lose access to all of the resources and tools provided by RPTS. You will, however, retain ownership of everything that you purchased on your own (before, during, and after) you were granted an RPTS license, as well as any free resources from FaithLife.

(Note: If you withdraw or transfer from RPTS, you should change the email address associated with your Logos account. RPTS suspends the email accounts of students who withdraw or transfer. If you do not change the email address on your Logos account, you will have no way to reset your password if it is forgotten.)

Do I Need to Install Logos on my Computer?

While Logos has software that you can download onto your computer, you are not required to install it. Logos has a cloud-based web version that you can use in your web browser of choice. Installing the software is recommended because you will have copies of the resources downloaded on your computer and can access them without internet access. If you have a computer with a small hard drive, such as a netbook or Chromebook, you may find the web version of Logos to be more successful. Logos does not provide software for the Linux operating system. If you are using a Linux computer, you will need to use the web version of Logos.
