Inclusive Access Delivery 

Inclusive Access provides a more affordable and streamlined way for students to access course materials. With IA:

• Inclusive Access materials are adopted by your instructor and delivered via Canvas
• Students receive their materials on or before the first day of class, ensuring they’re ready to succeed from day one.
• The cost is typically lower than traditional print options, helping alleviate financial pressure.
• IA charges are automatically put on the student e-bill; students do not need to purchase IA materials on their own; however, flexibility remains a priority—students always have the option to opt out and purchase materials in another format if they prefer. 
  • Opt out must be completed by the end of drop/add if students wish to opt out of the IA delivery model.
