Course Materials Access Program
Access and affordability are a priority of the University of Richmond Strategic Plan, which calls for “a consideration of ways to reduce the cost to students of textbooks and educational materials” and to “implement strategies that help ensure equity of access to the full range of opportunities available” at the university.
Campuses across the country are adopting new textbook distribution models to get course materials to students on or before the first day of class, increase academic performance, and potentially decrease the cost of materials. Campus Business Services is seeking your input as we consider new ways for students to access course materials.
