Savings
Students get equitable, affordable, first-day access to course materials at one low, pre-negotiated payment at the beginning of the term. Direct billing to their student accounts for ONLY the course materials they need means there’s no need to spend time searching for the best price. This increases the likelihood they’ll acquire the materials on or before day one, preparing them to get the most out of the classroom experience.
Since 2015, more than 3.9 million students have enrolled in more than 7.3 million courses using our Inclusive Access models. In 2018 alone, students using these models had estimated savings of over $130M.

Together, we have a once-in-a-generation chance to shape the future of learning, improve the tools instructors use to engage with students, and help every learner pursue an educational path that ultimately leads to opportunity and fulfillment.
