NEW!听CU Book Access (Undergraduates Only)
, CU Boulder鈥檚 equitable access course materials program, provides degree-seeking undergraduate students access to their required course materials before the first day of class for a one-time, flat-rate price per semester, every fall and spring.
Materials in this program are provided in a digital-first format on or before the first day of class in听Canvas, CU Boulder鈥檚 online learning platform. Should a particular class require print materials, students will receive an听email letting them know they have a pickup at the CU Book Store.听

The charge is billed at that time, but students have until the course drop deadline to opt out of the program and the charge would then be reversed. This gives students the maximum amount of time to make choices about their course schedule.
