Students registered in participating classes are automatically enrolled in the VGCC Textbook+ Program. (A list of participating courses included in the VGCC Textbook+ program can be found here: List of included Courses PDF). Please note that not all courses participate in this program so you will still be responsible for purchasing required textbooks and course materials for any class that is NOT listed in this program.

The cost of this program is a one-time fee of $138.76, which is billed through the college and not the bookstore. Students in participating classes will only need to pay this fee one time per semester. This fee covers the cost of textbook(s) and course material(s) for all participating courses requiring Cengage access for which the student is registered in the same semester. Therefore, students will not have to purchase a textbook for the participating course(s) because a digital textbook and other course resources will be provided on the first day of class by using a link embedded in Moodle. Again, if you are enrolled in more than one participating course this semester, then you have only been charged this fee one time.

Yes! Students can save up to 60% or 80% based on savings at other schools and thanks to the campus store relationships with publishing partners and bulk purchasing power. The program also provides a method to easily access, manage, and use all course materials regardless of format or cost.

The Cengage Unlimited materials will be available through Moodle for participating classes. Log into Moodle, enter course, and review instructions provided by the instructor. Your instructor will provide a link in Moodle to access your digital textbook and course materials.

Required materials are supplied at the beginning of each term. Digital textbook and materials will be accessible on the first day of class when the Moodle course sections opens. Please continue to check your school email before the start of each term. Your instructor will provide a link in Moodle to access your digital textbook and course materials.

If you add or drop a course, that information is automatically transmitted to the VGCC Bookstore. Your instructor will provide a link in Moodle to access your digital textbook and course materials. If you currently have Cengage access, you will not be billed. If you are not currently enrolled and you add a course in the VGCC Textbook+ Program, you will be billed. Please allow 24-48 hours after adding a new course to allow the information to transmit and for a team member to ready those materials.

Students are not required to participate in the VGCC Textbook+ program. Some students may find it more cost effective to purchase a 12-month subscription to Cengage Unlimited or to purchase textbooks another way; VGCC encourages our students to purchase required course materials in the way that works best for their unique needs. Students who opt-out of the VGCC Textbook+ Program are responsible for finding and purchasing their required course materials on their own. All materials will be available at the VGCC Bookstore where you can pick from different format and pricing options.

All students are automatically included in the VGCC Textbook+ Program; however, students may opt-out of the program during specified opt-out periods using the VGCC Textbook+ Portal. You will have the option to opt out of the VGCC Textbook+ Program at the start of each term.

Please check your school email address for information on how to login to the VGCC Textbook+ Portal and review the process and specific deadlines. Email will come from nor...@follett.com and you may need to check spam or junk folders.

The Bookstore will accept refunds in original condition within the return deadline. If a manual or access code is used, then it is non-returnable. View Bookstore Return Policy. Items must be returned before the return deadline in-person or shipped at your expense with a receipt, your full name, and Cougar ID number to:

There are no physical vouchers; a voucher means an account is setup at the bookstore under a student's name and ID. Students are sent a notification with ordering instructions to their CSCC email once their account is ready to use. Notifications are sent on/or after the CCP voucher payment opening date. If you were expecting a voucher and have not received a notification by the start of the semester, contact ccplu...@cscc.edu.

Access Codes: Students using a voucher must order codes from the bookstore to gain access to a course that requires one. The bookstore cannot reimburse the cost of a code purchased elsewhere, see Voucher FAQ for more.

Refunds: Students are responsible to pay their high school the costs of any ineligible items charged on a voucher unless refunded before vouchers close, per the Voucher Refund Policy.

End-of-Semester Book Collection: Students are responsible to return reuseable books that were received on a voucher at the end of each semester, per the high school's Book Collection policy.

IA text: If a student enrolls in an Instant Access (IA) course, then the IA text will automatically be available to them on Blackboard the first day of class, so no order for the IA text is necessary. The IA ebook fee is charged to the high school during invoicing.

Instructor Copy: To request an instructor copy of a book, please reach out to the publisher of the title listed on your form to see if one can be provided. CSCC academic departments may also be able to assist with these requests. The bookstore can provide contact information if needed. If an instructor copy is no longer available, you can order an additional copy from the bookstore.

Return Requests: If the district has excess books due to canceled enrollment, please contact the bookstore to coordinate a return to be completed before the ninth week of the semester.

The TCC Plus program provides discounted digital textbooks and course materials to our students. Courses participating in the TCC Plus program include the cost of a digital textbook, along with interactive learning content, in the class cost.

Interactive or adaptive learning platforms provide enhanced learning experiences beyond reading the text. TCC Plus digital textbooks and course materials offer interactive content which may include multimedia video and audio presentations, animations, adaptive quizzes and homework sets, peer-to-peer sharing of notes, and digital flashcards that you can use with smartphone apps. It also allows for various levels of customization by the instructor.

Follow the specific instructions provided by your instructor in Canvas to successfully access the digital textbook and other course materials. If you have any problems, contact your instructor or our technical support team for additional help.

You can secure a printed copy for an additional discounted price at the bookstore after the census date for your course. You must request the TCC Plus print upgrade and provide proof of current enrollment in a TCC Plus course.

No. You will automatically be removed from the course and lose access to the materials. Refunds are issued for the course materials if the drop occurs on or before the official day of record (census date). If you drop the course after the census date, you are liable for the course materials charge.

The TCC Plus digital textbook and course materials are listed as a "Course materials charge" on your tuition breakdown. The course materials charge is posted to your account when you register for a TCC Plus course and can be covered by financial aid and tuition payment plans.

No. Just as with your other books and course materials, you are responsible for paying the cost of the digital textbook and other course materials. This fee cannot be directly billed to the VA since it is an optional charge.

*Textbook rentals must be either purchased from or returned to eCampus at the end of a course. Returns can be made in person at any Ivy Tech campus store or designated drop off location, or by mail through a pre-paid mailing slip provided by eCampus.

Dual credit, KLLM, skills training, and building/construction trade apprenticeship students are not currently eligible for Textbooks. Also not included in the per credit hour pricing are course materials that are recommended but not required, program fees, course fees, and consumable fees (e.g., exam fees, proctoring fees, nursing scrubs, welding rods).

Currently, dual credit, KLLM, skills training, and building/construction trade apprenticeship students are currently excluded from Textbooks. Students in these programs either have their materials covered by the program or are responsible for sourcing and purchasing required items on their own.

Eligible students will automatically be enrolled in Textbooks and charged the per-credit-hour fee for required textbooks and courseware. You must take action to opt out. Opting out of Textbooks applies to the entire semester. You cannot pick and choose select courses to opt out of.

The window to opt out of Textbooks is from the time you receive your textbook selection email from the bookstore through the last full refund date of your earliest starting class. You can change your opt out/in status for Textbooks via the Opt Out Portal in MyIvy during this window.

If you opt out of Textbooks and later decide you'd like to opt back into the textbook program, you can do so by changing your status in the Opt Out Portal in MyIvy. The window to opt back into the textbook program is the same as the window to opt out. You have from the moment you receive your textbook selection email from the bookstore through the last full refund date of your earliest starting class to set your status.
