The All Access Pass program runs for the Amherst campus Fall and Spring semesters. More information will be sent to students about a month prior to the start of each semester. Look for an email containing information regarding your courses and required course materials.
What is the All Access Pass program?
All Access Pass is a textbook rental program that lowers the cost of course materials and ensures students have their required course materials on the first day of class. The All Access Pass program allows the College鈥檚 Bookstore partner, Barnes & Noble College, to purchase materials for all courses in bulk, significantly reducing prices to students.
Students will be billed $25 per course credit ($75 per 3-credit course, $100 per 4-credit course) to their student account for required textbooks/codes.
Students who do not benefit financially from this arrangement have the right to opt-out of the program and purchase their textbooks individually.
