WHAT IS TOTAL ACCESS?
TOTAL Access is a new program that offers one flat fee, per term for all required undergraduate course materials, similar to a subscription plan. Where Inclusive Access lowered the cost of individual items, TOTAL Access reduces the overall cost for required course materials across all undergraduate disciplines and areas of study. This program is a digital first model, and VolBooks is working to have the program ready for the Fall 2024 term.
