Inclusive Access FAQ
Instant access. Lower cost. Zero stress.
What is Inclusive Access?
Selected by your professor, the Inclusive Access program provides digital access to your required course materials through D2L at a reduced price. Access begins the first day of class and is complimentary through the drop/add date without a "W." If you don’t want to purchase, you must opt out.
How Does Inclusive Access Work?
For Faculty
- Faculty collaborate with publisher representatives and the NMHU Bookstore to coordinate required materials and cost savings.
- Faculty receive instructions to set up materials within Brightspace.
- The NMHU Bookstore communicates the program to enrolled students.
- Once content is published, students access materials on Day 1 of class.
For Students
- When Inclusive Access is selected, details are posted in the student booklist.
- Students receive access to required digital materials through D2L on the first day.
- An opt-out option is available.
- For students who don’t opt out, the cost is applied to the Bursar account approximately five business days after the deadline.

What does it mean to opt out?
If you do not wish to purchase through Inclusive Access, you must opt out by the add/drop deadline. Access will be removed and no cost will appear on your Bursar account. Do not opt out if your course requires interactive modules.

I dropped the course. Do I still need to opt out?
Students who drop before the add/drop deadline are automatically opted out. No refunds are issued for drops after the deadline.
I forgot to opt out. Can I get a refund?
Once charges are applied to your Bursar account, there are no refunds.
