Inclusive Courseware

Inclusive courseware is a textbook affordability solution resulting from collaboration of the Student Government Association, faculty, administration, the campus bookstore, and many other departments across campus, all working together to help you save money on textbooks.

If you have a class using inclusive courseware, your instructor's chosen material is billed to your student account at the lowest price and the digital eText and interactive components will be delivered in Pilot for the first day of class. Please check with the Wright State bookstore to see if any additional materials are needed for the course.

Some classes may offer a print companion at a significantly lower price ($15 and up). Availability will vary depending on the publisher used for the Inclusive Courseware and is generally a loose-leaf copy without any access code. Please contact the Wright State bookstore for availability.

As long as you do so during the 100 percent refund period for tuition, the Inclusive Courseware charge will be refunded to your account. This refund will be processed automatically so you do not need to do any paperwork. Go to the academic calendar to confirm dates for the 100 percent refund period.

We negotiate with the publishers and the price must be below market value for it to be part of Inclusive Courseware. Because of the interactive components such as Connect, MyLab, Mindtap, etc., typical savings options like used and rental are not available because they are designed for one-time use and need to be purchased new.

You will see Inclusive Courseware on your student bill and this charge will be covered if funds are available after tuition is paid. Please contact Enrollment Services (RaiderConnect) for specific questions regarding your student bill.

Chapter 31 will be billed to veteran's affairs along with tuition. If you are on Chapter 33/G.I. Bill, you are responsible for paying the Inclusive Courseware charge on your student bill and submitting for reimbursement as part of your stipend for textbooks. The Veteran and Military Center can answer questions regarding your benefits.

Like tuition, you will need to pay for the Inclusive Courseware again. A few exceptions may be made to this and it is at the publisher discretion if they extend access at no additional charge. Please contact the Wright State bookstore for more information.

You may choose to opt out of Inclusive Courseware, but this is strongly discouraged. Inclusive Courseware typically contains deeply integrated components such as Connect, MyLab, Mindtap, etc. that are used in your course. If purchased separately, you will not be part of this integration which will cause course disruption for the instructor and you.

If you decide to opt out, you are responsible for purchasing access at a higher cost and any delay will hinder your success in this class. You can opt-out online from your Pilot page once your instructor opens the class normally the first day of class. You can drop the Inclusive Courseware during the 100% refund period for that particular class.  Go to the academic calendar to confirm dates.

If you have problems opting out please contact the bookstore directly as Enrollment Services (RaiderConnect) cannot remove these fees.
