University implements course-fee model for learning materials and saves students money

CHALLENGE:
Due to the high cost of traditional textbooks, many students neglect to buy their books before the start of classes, and sometimes, not at all. This decision directly impacts their ability to succeed in their classes.

SOLUTION:
An inclusive model in which all students pay a course materials fee and receive their course materials digitally before the first day of classes.

VitalSource® works with Texas A&M University-San Antonio (TAMU-SA) to deliver affordable digital content directly to the students through their LMS.

BENEFIT:
Through this model, TAMU-SA’s College of Business students saved an average of $1,374 on their course materials over one academic year.

“Students love it, faculty love it, the administration loves it. It not only helps our students have the content they need, but also helps them save money and reduce their debt.”
