Inclusive Access
What is Inclusive Access?
Inclusive access is a purchase model where the cost of required digital course materials (like eTextbooks or courseware like Cengage MindTap or Pearson MyLab) is included within the course fee. This model offers cost-saving opportunities to students who are enrolled in Inclusive Access classes, and access to the digital material is offered directly online through Canvas. Students who do not want to participate in the Inclusive Access model may choose to opt-out.
