How does 天美影院All-Access Work?
The 天美影院All-Access Program takes the hassle out of book buying because textbook rental costs are covered as part of the course fees*. This allows every enrolled undergraduate student access to all required materials beginning on the first day of class. Once you have selected your courses, your course list will be sent to the 天美影院Bookstore. The Bookstore gets everything ready for you. All you need to do is pick up your required textbooks and materials during Blue Nation Welcome Weekend. You will need to check your Welcome Weekend schedule once it is available for location and times.
* Please note: The All-Access Program does not apply to students receiving employee grant in aid, receiving tuition exchange through the Council of Independent Colleges, or to high school students in the dual-credit program. Students in these programs will receive books at a discounted rate of $25.00 per credit hour; the fee will be automatically charged to the student account.

No. Since students who study abroad are studying at a different university that has non-天美影院faculty, staff, course offerings, course schedules and policies, it is not possible for 天美影院to coordinate to offer the benefits of the All-Access Program during a student's semester studying abroad. During study abroad, students are responsible for paying the cost of their textbooks. When students return to 天美影院from studying abroad, they will be able to take advantage of their All-Access Program benefits.
Professors are responsible for notifying (on time) the 天美影院Bookstore of materials needed for all classes. Only materials identified by your professor as "required" are included as part of the program. "Recommended" materials will not be part of the program, but may be available in the 天美影院Bookstore for a fee.
All books must be returned to the 天美影院Bookstore following finals.
- The final deadline to return your textbooks is Dec. 15, 2020.
- If you wish to keep a book, or if a book is lost or damaged, you may convert the rental to a purchase at the 天美影院Bookstore at any time throughout the semester by paying an additional cost.
- Materials not returned to the 天美影院Bookstore at the end of the semester will result in charges added to your Student Business Office account and a hold will be placed on your account until the charge is paid.
