Starting Fall 2023, NMSU-Alamogordo will begin a new integrated program-Follett Access, which will make course materials available on the first day of class. Through this digital course material program, there is a fixed rate for the Follett Access program of $24.00 per credit hour. The students are charged for the course materials when they register for the course, the same way as tuition. Materials in this approach are able to be provided at significant cost savings to the student based on predictability in demand and consistency of content.
Students will be able to access all needed electronic textbooks and learning materials without paying anything more out of pocket on the first day of class. Students wishing to opt out of this program for the semester and purchase materials on their own will be given the opportunity to do so before the start of the term. Digital materials are provided directly through links into Canvas where they can be accessed immediately on computers and mobile devices, and physical materials are available from the bookstore on the first day of class.
