What Is Course Access? An Overview for Faculty
Course Access is a streamlined course material program designed to ensure students have all required materials for participating courses before the first day of class, at the most competitive per-course pricing.
Under this program:
- All required materials for participating courses are delivered directly to students.
- Costs are included in tuition or course fees.
- Materials are provided in the appropriate format—digital or physical—based on adoption.
Digital materials are typically delivered through the campus Learning Management System (LMS) or sent to the student’s academic email. Some content may also be accessed via the publisher’s website, depending on product specifications. Physical materials are available for pickup at the campus bookstore, with special shipping options available upon request.
