In this video, we’ll walk through how to opt in and opt out of materials in the Course Access program.
Course Access is a course-by-course delivery model that gives you access to required digital materials on day one, directly within your campus learning management system.
When you sign in, you’re automatically opted into any required materials that are part of the Course Access program.
In My Courses, you’ll see clear indicators to help you understand what’s included.
At the top of the page, you’ll see a primary banner with a countdown showing how much time you have left before your term begins and how long you have to make changes. This banner also highlights any required materials that still need to be purchased and includes an Add to Cart button displaying the total cost of those items.
Just below that, the secondary banner provides a summary of your Course Access enrollment. It shows how many items are included in the program, your current billing amount, and how many required materials still need to be purchased separately.
On each item card that’s part of the program, you’ll see a Course Access label, along with the price and an opt-out link.
Not all required materials may be included in Course Access. If a required item is not part of the program, it will appear separately and will need to be purchased on your own.
Course Access allows you to opt out one item at a time. If you decide you’d like to opt out of an individual title, click the opt-out link on that item card.
After clicking Opt Out, a confirmation window will appear. Review your selection, then confirm your choice.
Once confirmed, that item will update to show that it has been opted out. You’ll now have the option to opt back in or purchase the material independently.
As you make changes, the secondary banner will automatically update to reflect your selections, including your billing amount and how many required materials still need to be purchased.
You can continue adjusting your selections anytime before the opt-out deadline.
If you change your mind, simply click Opt In on that item card to rejoin the program for that title.
And that’s how you manage your materials in Course Access.
