The Montclair State University Bookstore participates in the Access program called, IncludED.
Courses enrolled in IncludED provide all required course material as part of tuition and fees. This helps to eliminate the time spent searching for deals on books and accidentally getting the wrong book or edition. IncludED enables students to know the full cost of a course upfront with no surprises about additional out-of-pocket costs for any required course materials. IncludED is designed to ensure students get the course materials they need to succeed at a competitive and affordable price. The IncludED program also guarantees to have the course materials needed on day one, making it easier for students to study, learn and be successful in their courses.
Register Your Course!
Getting your course enrolled in the IncludED program is easy. Take a look at the phases that explain the process and instructions on how to start.
PHASE I: Filling Out a Request Form
Filling out the Sign up for IncludED form allows for our department to begin the process of finding out the pricing with the University Bookstore. Follett is our Bookstore partner and the conduit between Montclair State and all publishers.
The pricing we receive back is then compared to the current pricing and what is available from other sources. One of the factors for moving forward with IncludED, is to ensure that a student cannot obtain the materials elsewhere for cheaper (within a 10% margin).
PHASE II: Obtaining the Necessary Approvals
Approval by the Department Head, Dean and Provost would need to be obtained by the person submitting the Sign up for IncludED form, and would be required before proceeding to Phase III.
PHASE III: Special Program Fee
The Auxiliary Services Office would complete a Special Program Fee Request Form once the pricing is determined and approvals are received. This form will be emailed to you, and will need to be signed by both the Dean of your College and the Provost.
A copy of the signed form would need to be sent back to Auxiliary Services, who will then review and submit the completed form to Accounting and the Bursar’s Office. Keep in mind, the Office of Student Accounts has strict deadlines for the cut off for this form to be submitted. The Special Program Fee Form would need to be signed and sent back to the Auxiliary Services Office by the following deadlines:
- Submit by March 15 to become effective Fall term.
- Submit by April 1 to become effective Winter term.
- Submit by August 15 to become effective Spring term.
- Submit by September 1 to become effective Summer term.
PHASE IV: Assigning the Program Fee to the Course
Auxiliary Services will coordinate with Accounting and Student Accounts to assign the special program fee to the course.
PHASE V: Communication to all enrolled Students
Communication is sent out to all Students enrolled in the course explaining how they can obtain their course materials.
