What Is Total Access? An Overview for Faculty
Total Access is a comprehensive course material program designed to ensure students have all required materials for every enrolled course before the first day of class—at the most competitive price available. Pricing may be structured as a per-credit-hour rate or a per-student charge.
Under this program:
- All required course materials for every enrolled course are delivered to students.
- Costs are included in the student’s tuition or course fee structure.
- 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 directly to the student’s academic email. Some content may 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.
