INCLUSIVE ACCESS INFORMATION FOR INSTRUCTORS
Here is more information about the program.
WHAT IS THE INCLUSIVE ACCESS PROGRAM?
The Inclusive Access program allows students immediate access to their course materials through D2L, in digital format, on the first day of classes, at an extremely discounted rate. All students enrolled in courses where Inclusive Access is offered will have digital access to the specified course materials on day one. To maintain digital access students must remain opted-in. The Inclusive Access program is a partnership between VitalSource, publishers and SGA bookstore. Inclusive Access is not offered for Optional materials, it is for Required products only.
HOW CAN I USE INCLUSIVE ACCESS FOR MY CLASS MATERIALS?
You choose the materials you want to use. Place your materials adoptions using VitalSource COLLECT Tool. We work with the publisher and VitalSource to get everything set up on our side. A few weeks before class, you’ll set up the link for the product on D2L. You may need to work with a publisher to do this.
HOW DO STUDENTS PAY FOR THE PRODUCT?
Students are charged through tuition at an extremely discounted price.
WHAT IF A STUDENT DOESN’T WANT TO CONTINUE WITH INCLUSIVE ACCESS?
Students can Opt-out before the add/drop deadline, and they will receive a full refund. It is very important that students know they will be responsible for acquiring the materials needed for your class. The materials will not be available in the bookstore.
HOW WILL MY STUDENTS KNOW I’VE DECIDE TO USE INCLUSIVE ACCESS?
Students will receive an email from us before they are billed, and classes start. The letter will let them know about Inclusive Access, which class has participated, the charge that was added to their tuition and how to opt-out if they choose to do so.
WHAT DO I NEED TO DO?
Let us know what classes and products you want to be included in the Inclusive Access program when placing your adoption by sliding the Inclusive Access toggle in COLLECT. We will work with the publisher and VitalSource to get things set up on our side. We will email you about a week before classes start with directions on how to set up the link for your course materials on D2L. If the product isn’t available through Inclusive Access, we will reach out and let you know.
**If this is your first time requesting Inclusive Access, make sure to send a message in the COLLECT tool letting us know that you understand the program and your role in it and you are ready to move forward with it.
