We would like to set up inclusive access for all the digital content used as textbook for all sections that require the purchase of a textbook. Inclusive Access, also known as automatic textbook billing, is a sales model for college textbooks. Inclusive access allows for the digital content to be delivered to students by the first day of class. Students have a period to “opt out” before they are billed through their tuition and fees.
In addition to saving money on the price of the digital content, inclusive access was shown to increase student success in classes and retention.
Evaluation Plan and Measures:
We will get student data from Banner and dollar saved from the bookstore.
KPIs:
- The number of courses that offer inclusive access.
- The number of sections that offer inclusive access.
- The number of students in sections with inclusive access.
- The % of students who opt out.
- The amount of dollars saved by the EGSC students.
- A, B, and C rate in sections with inclusive access

Goal or targets (for each KPI):
Our goal is to:
- increase the number of courses with inclusive access.
- Increase the number of sections with inclusive access.
- Increase the number of students in sections with inclusive access.
- Maintain a low % of op out students.
Time period/duration: this is an ongoing activity.
We will expand the number of courses with inclusive access. In addition, we collect additional data to assess the effectiveness of this strategy. This data will be the % of students who complete all homework and assignments on the online learning platform.
