Campus Textbook Access Program (CTAP) Student Information

Students will be notified at the point of course registration. Additionally, all participating students and faculty will receive communications to their school email address providing them with all necessary program information including deadlines, fees, and how to opt out/opt in as available. Be on the lookout for the following emails with the following subject lines:

• Important Information Regarding your Course Materials for the Upcoming Term
• Welcome to Campus Textbook Access Program (CTAP)
• Your Order is Ready for Pick-Up

Yes! Students can save up to 60% off the original price thanks to the campus store's relationships with publishing partners and bulk purchasing power. The program also reduces student stress during the purchasing process and provides a method to easily access, manage and use all course materials regardless of format or cost. 

Once you register for your courses, you are automatically enrolled in CTAP and the campus store will get all your required materials for that course ready for you! You will receive confirmation emails to your school account sharing details to access your digital materials in the Canvas, as applicable. If you have physical materials, the campus store will communicate with you when you can pick up these materials, as applicable. 

You will find this information in the emails, as applicable:

• Important Information Regarding your Course Materials for the Upcoming Term
• Your Order is Ready for Pick-Up

Depending on the classes and the course materials required, you may receive a combination of digital course materials, physical textbooks, printed lab manuals or workbooks. 

Only required digital and/or physical materials for courses participating in the program are included. For suggested, recommended, or other course materials, you can order these materials online or visit the campus store where textbook experts will be happy to assist you. 

• Required: it is necessary for the course.
• Recommended: the instructor has suggested an item that may be helpful.

Only materials identified by the faculty as "required" are included in the program. All "recommended" materials may be available for purchase separately at the campus store.

If you add or drop a course, that information is automatically transmitted to the campus store.  

• Added courses: Within 24 hours of adding a course, you will receive an email at your school email address with details to access your digital materials and/or if your materials are already provisioned directly into Canvas. If the course requires physical materials, you will receive an email to their school email address letting you know when the new print materials are ready for pick-up. 
• Dropped courses: For courses dropped prior to the last day to drop/add/opt-out/opt-in deadline, access to electronic or digital materials will be automatically disabled. If the course requires physical materials, they must be returned to the campus store unless otherwise stated. 

All students are automatically enrolled in the program once they register for their courses. Students may choose to opt out and remove themselves from the program before the out-out deadline for a full refund. If a student opts out, they are then responsible for finding/purchasing their required materials independently. Students must take action to opt out of the program each term. There is no penalty for opting out.

If the opt-out/opt-in period has not ended, students can opt back in/out by going to the opt-out portal and choosing "opt in"/"opt out". Log in to the opt-out portal by clicking an opt-out link provided by the school or by checking your school email for the link to the opt-out portal.

Required physical materials can be kept by the student at the end of each term and does not have to be returned. Digital materials can be accessed for a minimum of 180 days and may be available for longer period of time based on the material adopted and the publisher's terms. 

Students participating in the program will have their required digital materials available directly in the campus' LMS. Students will receive emails from no-reply@kortext.com with instructions and details on accessing their materials. For any technical issues and additional support, students can email support-us@kortext.com.
