Impact student and institutional success
You play an important role in connecting students with the course materials they need. As more and more colleges transition to digital delivery of course materials, college resellers will have an opportunity to play a new and critical role in the value chain and in ensuring that every student gets access to required learning materials.
The Pearson Inclusive Access model allows college resellers to establish a sustainable approach to digital course materials distribution that offers students greater convenience and consistent pricing.
Inclusive Access also lowers your campus store’s direct costs, allowing you to save students more. Since 2012, for example, Indiana University has saved its students more than $26M through its innovative IU eTextbooks Initiative, and the savings continue to grow.
"In Spring 2017, students saved $171k off of the lowest new/used print option available, with Inclusive Access. Students recognize the value of Inclusive Access, as can be evidenced by our low opt-out rate of 1.5% in the spring."
— Russell Weldon, Assistant Director, Auburn University Bookstore

Despite the significant student cost savings, the Auburn University Bookstore has consistently reported a revenue from All Access sales, enabling it to continue to provide faculty with solutions that facilitate their instruction.
Connors State College
The college’s campus store recognizes the value of Inclusive Access and has been a great partner throughout the process — with all purchases handled by the campus store, it’s maintained its required revenue.

As students shifted to using digital materials, the increased sell-through enabled by Inclusive Access has helped the campus store stay afloat in spite of the dramatically lowered cost of course materials.
