Select courses may utilize online course materials that have been provided at a discount. Here’s what you need to know.
- The first-day course material fee will be included with your tuition if you are enrolled in such a course.
- The University of Akron is in the forefront of the online delivery of course materials. We’ve worked to find the lowest cost option for the students. We negotiate with publishers and coordinate with Barnes and Noble to provide required online books and related course materials to you on the first day of class.
- You can opt out of the First-day Course Materials Fee, but if you opt out, you will not have access to the materials online and you accept the responsibility to obtain the items on your own.
- We recommend against opting out. If you wish to opt out, complete this form and take it to the bookstore manager in the Student Union. See store hours.
- Forms must be received by the end of the 100% refund period to be considered for removal of the first-day course materials fee from the student account. More about the refund period.
