Why is keeping costs down important?
Textbooks costs are a barrier to our students’ success. Due to the cost of textbooks:
1 out of 5 students reported taking fewer classes.
1 out of 4 students did not buy the required textbooks.
1 out of 5 students reported dropping a course, failing, or getting a poor grade.
1 out of 10 students reported "shopping" for classes with lower textbook costs.

Keep costs down by:
1. Helping the used-textbook market grow!
2. Using IncludED from Follett for textbooks, access codes, and consumables!
3. Considering Low Cost/No Cost options!
