NINER COURSE PACK

What is the Niner Course Pack?

Niner Course Pack is an Inclusive Access Program through the UNC Charlotte Barnes and Noble bookstore.

So... what is 

Inclusive Access?

Inclusive Access is a textbook sales model that adds the cost of digital course content into students' tuition and fees. On or before the first day of class, digital content is delivered to students, typically through a learning management system (i.e., Canvas). Students have a period to "opt-out" before they are automatically billed for the cost. After the end of the course, students typically lose access to the content.

There are two types of Inclusive Access Models:

Flat fee model: Under a Flat-Fee Inclusive Access model, students are charged a fixed cost based on the number of units or credit hours, regardless of the cost of their exact materials.  This is what the Niner Course Pack falls under.
Course by Course model: Under a Course-by-Course Inclusive Access model, students in participating courses are billed for the cost of their assigned materials. Prices are set by publishers or vendors and opt-out may be available on a course-by-course basis.

What does the Niner Course Pack have to do with textbook affordability?

Answer: By making your textbooks $20 per credit hour per semester, you can save 35-50% off of your course materials.
