• Inclusive Access is a course material delivery method that provides students with access to their required course materials on the first day of class via your D2L course page.


• The fee for any material you adopt as Inclusive Access will automatically be charged to students' accounts unless they opt out by the deadline (typically the add/drop deadline).


• Types of materials offered via Inclusive Access include digital textbooks (ePubs, eBooks, etc.), as well as courseware for additional capabilities such as homework and test submission, study tools, and more (Pearson's MyLab, Cengage MindTap, etc.).


• Once you submit your course adoption with Inclusive Access selected, additional setup will be required on your part to make sure your students can access the materials via your D2L course page.
