Follett ACCESS

What is Follett ACCESS?

Follett ACCESS is an NYU Bookstore affordability initiative that delivers your required course materials to you digitally at the lowest possible price on the first day of class. The charge is posted directly to your NYU Bursar Account Tuition and Fees bill as a “Book Charge” and can be paid along with your other University charges or using financial aid. Participating Courses and Fees can be found at the bottom of this page and will be applied after the opt out period ends.

How does ACCESS work?

If your course is participating in ACCESS you are automatically opted in. You will receive an email approximately a week prior to classes beginning that will explain how to access your materials. By participating in Follett ACCESS, you will receive a digital copy of your course materials on or before the first day of class at the lowest price available from the publisher. 

What is the benefit of participating in the program?

The goals of this program are to improve textbook affordability, as well as to improve your success in class. By participating in this program, you will have access to deeply discounted prices on your textbooks, the guaranteed right materials, and the ability to access your textbooks on or before the first day of class. With digital textbooks and materials through Follett ACCESS, you'll get instant access, carry a lighter bookbag, and save up to 75% over printed books!
