Pay One Price – Convenient and Affordable Access to Course Materials

Spring 2024 brings us to the second semester of the BookStores Pay One Price program. All students registered in at least one main campus undergraduate course are automatically enrolled each semester. This digital-preferred program aims to make the process of getting required courseware for classes simple and fast – for both students and instructors. It does so by making the required digital and print course materials and courseware more accessible to students on the first day of classes while improving the costs and saving time.

A strong partnership between the University of Arizona BookStores and University Libraries helps lower program costs of Pay One Price by identifying unlimited library access to required digital materials. Regardless of the number of courses or a students major, students will pay a reasonable and predictable flat rate of $250 per semester.

Pay One Price Helps Your Students

Pay One Price for students replaces a similar program called Inclusive Access for anyone taking a Main Campus undergraduate course. The difference between Pay One Price and Inclusive Access is that with Pay One Price, the single cost covers as many course material items as needed and may include some print materials.

Through Pay One Price most of a student's required course materials will be digital and accessible through D2L by the first day of classes. The flat rate is applied to the student's bursar account the same day as their tuition and additional fees, or as soon as they register for one or more qualifying courses. If this program is not a good fit, students may opt-out through Jan. 23, 2024, to receive a full refund.

Pay One Price Benefits for Faculty

Students aren't the only ones benefitting from this program. With Pay One Price, instructors can count on students having their required course materials for the first day of class. There won't be a need to wait for books to be delivered physically when digital book readily available on students' D2L accounts. Instructors retain full academic freedom to select the most appropriate materials under Pay One Price.
