Course Material Affordability

Affordable Course Materials

Purdue Libraries encourages all instructors to adopt affordable course materials for their classes. Reducing the cost of course materials provides an equitable opportunity for all students to succeed and allows them to have access to the materials on the first day of class or earlier. There are multiple ways instructors can eliminate or reduce the cost of course materials for students by utilizing materials and services provided at Purdue and beyond.
