Note: Click on a question to open the answer.
What is Inclusive Access?

  • The Inclusive Access program is a textbook model in collaboration with top publishers that converts traditional print textbooks into digital content.
  • All students in a class buy into the content, lowering the cost for everyone.
  • All students in the class will be billed for the content approximately 10 days prior to the first day of class and have access to the content on the first day.
  • The digital content may also include courseware for submitting homework and/or quizzes.


What are Interactive or Adaptive Learning Platforms?
  • Interactive Learning Platforms, or ILPs, are much more than just e-books. They are interactive software platforms developed to provide an enhanced learning experience beyond reading the text.
  • They may include multimedia video and audio presentations and animation, and adaptive quizzes and homework sets which link directly to the related section of text when incorrect answers are given.
  • They also allow for various levels of customization by the instructor, peer-to-peer sharing of notes, and the creation of digital flashcards you can use with smartphone apps.

YOU MUST OPT-OUT FROM INCLUSIVE ACCESS FOR EACH COURSE TO AVOID FEES!!!!!!!!!!

 

Why would I Opt-Out?
  • Dropped the course.
  • Acquired digital materials previously (e.g. Cengage Unlimited).

I Opted-Out by mistake and realized that I still need my access. Can I opt back in?

I did not opt out, but I did not register my access or use the online platform. Will I still be billed?

Yes. All students who are enrolled in a course using Inclusive Access are automatically considered part of the program. To avoid being billed you must opt out online during the first 10 days of class.

I dropped the course. Do I still need to opt out?

Students who drop the course during the first 10 days of class will automatically be Opted-Out and will not be billed. Students who withdraw from the course after the 10th day of class will not be eligible to receive a refund on Inclusive Access materials.

I am still enrolled in the course, but I forgot to Opt-Out and missed the deadline. Can I get a refund now?

Once billing has been completed, there are no refunds.

I am wait-listed for the course. Will I still have access to the digital course material and do I need to Opt-Out if I don’t get into the course?
