Aggie Access: How it Works

Sign up for classes each semester knowing that you'll get all required textbooks for one flat rate.

A flat rate of $250 for Fall, $250 for Spring, or $150 for Summer will be applied to your student account each semester.

Pay the balance by the tuition/fee deadline.

Login to Bookshelf under your Canvas account menu to start using your digital books and view program options (see below), including how to opt out.

Take advantage of digital book features such as creating flash cards, highlighting text, and viewing instructor annotations.

Pick up required print books from the Campus Store or request shipping if you are a statewide student.

Program Options

Aggie Access offers flexible program options for students to choose from. In Canvas Bookshelf, you'll be able to change your program choice as much as you want and enjoy complimentary access to all digital books up until the opt out deadline each semester.

Some instructors use free resources such as Open Educational Resources ("OER") in their courses. Free resources can help offset the cost of paid materials and keep the overall flat rate amount low. Free materials, such as OER, will always be accessible to you regardless of which of the program options you choose.
