WHAT IS INCLUSIVE ACCESS?

Inclusive Access provides instant digital access to course materials on the first day classes start, through the classes canvas page at a reduced cost. These materials are paid for with a fee that is placed on their student account. Additional details will be provided in an email that is sent before classes start, the instructor, or in the syllabus of the class.

HOW INCLUSIVE ACCESS WORKS…

An email will go out to students about a week before the first day of class with information on what Inclusive Access is and instructions on how to access their digital course materials. Students are able to access their digital materials through Canvas on the first day of class.

Students have until the add/drop deadline of the semester to decide if they want to keep the Inclusive Access materials. If the student decides they don’t want to use the Inclusive Access materials they have the option to opt out and will be refunded accordingly. At this point students are responsible for obtaining their own course material/textbook for that course.

WHY INCLUSIVE ACCESS WORKS…

Inclusive Access provides instant access to the course materials for the entire class on the first day that class begins through the class's canvas page at a reduced cost. This reduced cost is charged to the student’s accounts for that specific course. Financial Aid and Scholarships are then able to help cover the costs of the materials.

Students will have access to the course material instantly, no waiting for a book online or being out-of-stock and getting behind in class. The goal of this program is to reduce the cost of course materials for students while also improving educational success through having access to their materials on day one.

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF INCLUSIVE ACCESS?

Some of the benefits of using the Inclusive Access program include students receiving digital access on the first day of class in Canvas, being less likely to fall behind in class, and materials being provided at a reduced cost.

HOW & WHEN DO STUDENTS PAY FOR INCLUSIVE ACCESS?

Students will be charged an “INCLUSIVE ACCESS CONTENT” fee that is placed on their student account. If a course is dropped or opted out of before the add/drop deadline, the fee will be refunded back to the students' account. No refunds will be given after the add/drop deadline of the semester.

WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO OPT-OUT?

By default, all students are enrolled in Inclusive Access if that is what is chosen by the professor. These students then will have access to the digital material through their Canvas page. However, all students have the choice to opt-out of the digital materials (if done by the stated deadline), which refunds the students' account. By doing this, access to the digital materials, including all tests, quizzes, homework, etc., will be stopped, but the student then has the option to acquire the materials anyway they want.
