Inclusive Access FAQ

Selected by your professor, the Inclusive Access program is digital access to your required course materials through D2L at a reduced price. Access to your required textbook starts the first day of classes, and is complimentary through the drop/add date without a "W." If you don’t want to purchase, you must opt-out.

For Faculty

• Faculty collaborate with their publisher representatives and the NMHU BookStore to coordinate required course materials and cost savings.
• Faculty receive instructions to set up their course materials within BrightSpace.
• The NMHU BookStore communicates the program to enrolled students.
• Once the content is published by the faculty, students log into BrightSpace and access their materials on Day 1 of class.

For Students

• When a faculty member chooses Inclusive Access for any course, details are posted in the student booklist.
• Students receive access to the required digital course material through D2L on the first day of class.
• An opt-out option is available for students who don’t want to purchase the required content.
• For students who don’t opt-out, the cost of the content is applied to the student’s university Bursar account approximately five business days after the opt-out deadline.
