How do Zero Textbook Cost (ZTC) courses impact students?
The required course learning resources will be provided to students, usually using digital resources, in place of a traditional textbook at no cost. (Note: Some course materials fees, such as a calculator or art supplies, may still exist even in a ZTC course.)
Why should I take a ZTC course?
- Save money! High textbook costs can be a barrier to success. ZTC removes this barrier.
- Have your textbook as soon as courses start! No more waiting for financial aid before you can begin course work. ZTC course materials are available to you right at the beginning of the semester.
- Learn on the go with digital resources, or choose to print if you want a hard copy.
Look for the Zero Textbook Cost symbol
when you register for classes!
