Important Information for Students in Courses Using FDIA
- Access is provided automatically for every student on the roster on the first day of class.
- Students are able to access the content for 14 days with no initial payment, during which time they can opt out if they choose.
- Students who do not opt out will retain their digital access and will have the access charge billed to their student account approximately three weeks after the start of the course.
- Students who choose to opt out will need to independently purchase a copy of the textbook and/or associated access programs.
- Students who drop the course prior to the census date are automatically opted out and are not billed. (For more information on census dates, see the Financial Aid Policies webpage.)
Benefits to Students
- An average of 35 to 50% savings over the price for printed textbooks.
- Deferred student billing direct to the student account, meaning students can pay using their financial aid, payment plan or online payment on their account.
- Course textbooks and associated access programs are available on day one through D2L.
- Increased interaction with course content, leading to greater success in the course. Built-in features include highlighting, annotating, bookmarking and print options.
Main Goals of FDIA
- Reduce the cost of course textbooks and associated access programs.
- Ensure all students have access to the materials on the first day of class.
- Improve student learning of course outcomes, thereby increasing pass rates.
Why We Did It
An alarming percentage of students choose to forego obtaining course materials, putting their academic success at risk. One of the main reasons is the high price of textbooks. The cost of traditional, physical textbooks have skyrocketed. Used textbooks and rentals are also increasing in price and decreasing in availability, as sales of new textbooks decline. These factors make it more difficult for students to obtain and afford the required materials.
Why It Works
- Inclusive Access breaks that cycle by consolidating purchases to achieve lower prices.
- Because of lower logistical and production costs, digital course content is less expensive than physical textbooks. There are no restrictions on quantity, and no shipping or storage costs.
- Inclusive Access materials can be updated easily. Every student has access to the most current version.
- Deferred payment also allows students to utilize their financial aid or payment plan.
- It ends the educational disenfranchisement of waitlisted students waiting to purchase their course materials, because if admitted to the class, they have immediate access to the course materials.
Benefits to Faculty
- No restraint on academic freedom. Instructors choose the textbooks.
- Ability to manage content and even add their own in some platforms.
- Students can begin online homework assignments on first day of class.
- Ability to integrate in D2L for single sign-on access.
- Instructor analytics on student engagement and success.
Library
Textbooks for all general education courses and many other courses are available for check out in the Library. Please direct any questions to library@lcc.edu or 517-483-1038.

Use of Financial Aid on the Barnes & Noble College online bookstore.
What is a Financial Aid Book Voucher?
Some financial aid students are eligible to receive money for the purchase of books as an advance of their financial aid award. Each semester, eligible students may have access to a Financial Aid Book Voucher, of up to $600, as an advance, from LCC, of their financial aid. The Financial Aid Book Voucher enables the student to purchase books from Barnes & Noble College. The actual amount of the Financial Aid Book Voucher utilized will be charged to the student's account. If a student loses eligibility for financial aid after the charges have been applied to the student account, the student is responsible for paying those charges.
I don't want to purchase my textbooks from the Barnes & Noble College.
There is no obligation to purchase your textbooks from Barnes & Noble College. Students can purchase their books wherever they wish. However, students who wish to take advantage of the convenience of a Financial Aid Book Voucher to purchase their books can only do so through the Barnes & Noble College online bookstore. The student may use their Financial Aid Book Voucher for the following book options, if the option is available for the requested text:
- New books, with a guaranteed buyback
- Used books, with a guaranteed buyback
- E-Book/Digital books
- Rental books
- Books available on the Marketplace
How is the Financial Aid Book Voucher calculated?
A student with authorized aid greater than the balance owed for tuition, fees, and supply advance is eligible to receive a Financial Aid Book Voucher. The balance of the authorized aid, up to $600, will be credited as a Book Voucher on the Barnes & Noble College online bookstore.
- Example 1 - a student has authorized aid of $2,500 and tuition and fees outstanding of $1,100 and a $250 Supply Advance. The balance of authorized aid is $2,500 - $1,100 - $250 = $1,150 - the student is eligible for the full $600 Book Voucher.
- Example 2 - a student has authorized aid of $2,000 and tuition and fees of $1,300 and a $250 Supply Advance. The balance of authorized aid is $2,000 - $1,300 - $250 = $450 - the student is eligible for a $450 Book Voucher.
- Example 3 - a student has authorized aid of $1,200 and tuition and fees outstanding of $1,100 and a $100 Supply Advance. The full authorized aid has been used ($1,200 - $1,100 - $100 = $0); therefore, no Book Voucher would be available.
I have all my textbooks and did not use my full Financial Aid Book Voucher - Can I have the balance for other educational expenses?
The Financial Aid Book Voucher is only for the purchase of books.
I have technical questions regarding Barnes & Noble College such as:
- How to access the online bookstore.
- How to navigate and use the site.
- Login issues with Barnes & Noble College or Banner Self Service.
- Other technical issues regarding LCC or Barnes & Noble College.
Please contact the LCC Help Desk (option 0) at 517-483-5221 or toll free 1-800-644-4522 choose option 3.
I have questions about the Financial Aid Book Voucher or Supply Advance such as:
