OAHP offers qualified users a ten-day trial period to become familiar with the system.  A subscription to use the system beyond the trial period is a nonrefundable annual fee of $250 per organization.  An unlimited number of qualified staff from the organization may enroll under that subscription.

The subscription fee is waived for the staff of non-profit and Higher Education organizations.

If you are interested in taking advantage of the trial period or subscribing to Compass, please read our information packet (PDF) which contains important details about Compass and a user application.
