Why did I receive an email requesting that I confirm my email address?

Email verification has become a standard procedure for most online services, and we think it's a good idea, too. It allows us to make sure that you typed your email address correctly when registering, and it lets us verify that you actually own that email account. We hate spam as much as you do, and we want to make sure we don't send unwanted emails to someone else's inbox.

Is there a cost to GHM Academy?
