Inclusive access is used as the delivery method for a student’s course materials,
chosen by the instructor, where students are charged a course materials fee during
registration. Inclusive Access materials can include an e-book, self-assessment tools,
interactive assignments, multimedia presentations and study tools. The options you
have are up to your instructor. Depending on what was adopted, your instructions for
viewing your materials will be different.
Instructions on how to access your materials by class.
Prices can be up to 60% off the cost of a printed text.
How is Inclusive Access priced?
The instructor works with a publisher to decide what digital products will be made
available to their students through IA. A price for the materials is negotiated. Students
accounts are charged this course materials fee at the time of registration.
Am I required to pay the Inclusive Access fee?
No. Students can opt out until 10th day if they want to opt out of instructor developed
course materials. You are responsible for obtaining the materials for your class and
will no longer be eligible for the discounted rates available to the Inclusive Access
opt-in students.
Can Inclusive Access fees be added to a payment plan?
Yes. Please contact the cashier for information on payment plans.
Can I use my financial aid to pay for Inclusive Access?
There are many forms of financial aid accepted by IVCC. Each has different rules about
what they will or will not pay for. It would be best to contact your Financial Aid
adviser and ask if your particular form of financial aid will cover Inclusive Access
materials.
When a student enrolls in an IA course, he/she is automatically opted-in.
By law, students must be given the ability to opt-out, in other words, not to pay
the course materials fee.
Due to the nature of IA digital course materials created by the publisher, according
to the instructor's design, they may not be found elsewhere in this format.
It is strongly advised if a student wants to opt-out, that they speak with their instructor
prior to the 10th day.
How do I opt-out?
Students wishing to opt-out will go to their course in Brightspace and click into
eCampus Inclusive Access. You will see a screen that allows you to begin reading.
There is also a box at the bottom of the screen that you can click to opt-out.
What happens if I opt-out?
You are responsible for obtaining the materials for you class and will no longer be
eligible for discounted rates available to the Inclusive Access opt-in students.
If I drop do I need to opt-out?
No. You will automatically lose access to the Inclusive Access materials. If the drop
occurs before the 10th day, refunds will be issued for the course materials in the
manner you paid for them.
