Follett Access Course Materials Program
What is the Follett Access Course Materials program?
海角社区has collaborated with Follett Bookstores and several national publishers to offer Follett's ACCESS program which delivers digital course materials to students at a substantial discount on or before the first day of class. Follett's ACCESS Program allows students to receive their discounted course materials. With a few easy steps, students gain instant access to their course materials and save an average of 30% off the national retail price.
How do I know if I'm eligible for Follett Access?
If you take a class that participates in Follett Access, you will automatically enroll in the program. You will receive an introductory email to your 海角社区account every semester when we identify that you are enrolled in a participating class, which will be followed by an official email from Follett Access / the 海角社区Bookstore detailing how to access your materials and how to opt out of the program every semester if you prefer to purchase your class materials elsewhere.

What if I don’t want to participate in Follett Access this semester?
If you are enrolled in the Follett Access program, watch for an email from Follett Access that includes an opt-out link.

Can I opt-in after I have opted out?
Yes! If you have opted out, you can opt-in again through the customer portal until the day of drop/add.
What will the charge look like on my bill?
Charges will begin to appear on your bill only after your ability to opt out starts. When making a payment in Cashnet, these will be included in the total charges. When looking at the detailed View Bill by Term - these will appear as Bookstore under the Charges section.
Changes to your bill may take up to a day to be processed after you opt out or your registration changes.

For courseware with codes: On the Order Release Date, you will receive an email from the bookstore (Follett), with the subject line "your digital materials have arrived." The email will contain a link to Canvas and your access code. You need to go to your course's Canvas page in order to redeem your code. The link provided will only bring you to the Canvas login page.
