Digital Course Materials: Inclusive Access
Ohio University’s Inclusive Access Program may raise questions around how and where CC+ students enrolled in participating courses need to obtain their digital course materials. Please be advised that CC+ students are not currently registered for the Inclusive Access Program and do not need to opt out of or take any additional action related to the program, as their student accounts will not be charged.
