Inclusive Access Courses

Several courses at Central Carolina Technical College are Inclusive Access courses. With these courses, the student is charged a course fee in addition to tuition that covers most, if not all of the required textbooks and access fees for the course. This fee ranges in price from $56.50 to $133.00 depending on the course and the items covered. This fee covers only digital components. If a student who is enrolled in the Inclusive Access program would like a print version of the item, they can purchase it in the college campus store at a greatly reduced price, between $20.00 and $40.00 each. In some cases, there could be other items in addition to the Inclusive Access that are required or optional. See the list below for information on Inclusive Access courses being offered in the fall term. You can also check out the book list at http://bookstore.cctech.edu/selecttermdept 

Inclusive Access is a model providing all students with digital access to course content on the first day of class. The digital content provided includes Interactive Learning Platforms (ILPs) in addition to a digital version of the textbook. Courses at CCTC utilizing Inclusive Access require the ILP as a significant portion of the course grade; without the ILP, a student cannot be successful. ILPs are interactive software platforms that enhance the learning experience through the inclusion of adaptive homework and testing platforms providing instant feedback, including direct links to the related section of digital textbook when incorrect answers are submitted. ILPs also provide supplemental instruction in the form of multi-media video and audio presentations, animations, quick reference guides, and related technology manuals. In addition, ILPs provide students with direct instructor access via email (includes a direct link to specific homework questions).

A student may opt out of the program if they already have all the digital components of the course. Students wishing to opt out of the program must contact the campus store manager no later than May 18, 2023 at neiljm@cctech.edu and arrange for the charge to be taken off their account. 

If you drop an Inclusive Access course prior to the end of drop/add period, you will automatically be refunded the charge. If you drop after the end of the drop/add period, or if you simply stop attending class and are dropped due to attendance the Inclusive Access fee will not be refunded. Only students enrolled in the Inclusive Access program are eligible to purchase the Loose Leaf Print books at the reduced prices listed here.

Look for green shelf tags in the campus store.  These green tags indicate that an item is for an Inclusive Access course and may not require you to purchase a textbook.

Dual Enrollment/Early College Student: Please check with the Dual Enrollment department before submitting online textbook orders.
