Access
A page within University Bookstore
UWL has partnered with Follett to create ACCESS, a simple and convenient way to ensure you are ready for class on day one. The program connects students to required learning materials before class even begins so you’ll be ready to learn and prepared to succeed. This program replaces the need to go to the University Bookstore for an access code and instead integrates the materials right into Canvas. There are no extra steps to complete. You’ll be automatically enrolled in ACCESS when you register for a participating class.
Please note that a small selection of participating classes also have additional recommended and/or required materials that are not included with the ACCESS program and can be purchased separately through the University Bookstore.
Note: The ACCESS program is not associated with Textbook Rental Services, but rather for those required materials through the University Bookstore.
All materials in the ACCESS program will be made available and delivered to you in Canvas. At this time, all products are digital; there are no paper-based products through the program. Please note that a small selection of participating classes also have additional recommended and/or required materials that are not included with the ACCESS program and can be purchased separately at the University Bookstore.
One of the benefits of the ACCESS program is that the costs associated with the ACCESS materials are attached directly to the class charges. If you are using financial aid, and you have adequate aid, the costs of ACCESS materials will be covered when your tuition and fees are covered. If you are self-paying, when you pay for your class you will also be paying for your ACCESS materials.
Because ACCESS course material charges are connected to the class, when you drop the class (prior to the end of the add/drop period for the session) the course fees will be automatically dropped. There is no additional action required on your part once you have dropped the class.
If you are registered for one or more ACCESS classes and you do not wish to participate in the program, you may opt out of each individual course by contacting Robin Tuxen. It is important to understand you will be responsible for securing the required course materials yet.
If you dropped a course before the refund date, no action is needed.
The deadlines for opting out of the ACCESS program and associated classes follow the final date noted for refunds listed on the Cashier's Office refund schedule.
If you opt out of ACCESS, you will be responsible for purchasing the course materials for your class(es).
