We’ve found an even better way for Terra State students to save money and succeed
from the very first day of class. With digital textbooks and required course materials
through Follett ACCESS, you’ll get instant access and save an average of 62% or more
over printed books.
How does it work?
Follett ACCESS is a partnership between Terra State and The Titan Shop that allows students
to rent or purchase textbooks at a reduced cost. The $32/credit hour charge is posted
directly to your Terra State Tuition and Fees bill and can be paid along with your
college charges or by using financial aid.
Students will have access to course materials when classes start. A vast majority
of our College's faculty use course materials, like a textbook, during each class.
As a result, it is even more important for students to have those materials on hand
and be ready to use them when needed.
How Do I Participate?
All students are initially included in the program; however, students may opt-out
of the program during specified opt-out periods each semester. For each semesters,
students may opt-out between the first day of registration and the Wednesday before
the start of each term. Additional opt-out date information can be found in the FAQs
below.
How to Access Your Course Materials
You can access your digital course materials utilizing any one of these three ways:
Email sent to your school email account
A BryteWave (RedShelf) account will be created using your school email address
