What is Equitable Access or Universal Learning?

Universal Learning is BibliU’s Equitable Access product.

This means that your school has chosen to ensure students have day 1 access to learning materials that are accessed via the learning management system (for example, Canvas, Blackboard, etc.) and delivered on the BibliU platform. BibliU charges the school and the school will add the course materials fee to the tuition bill.

BibliU’s Equitable Access program ensures that all students have access to digital course materials from the first day of class, with a flat fee per student, per text, per class, resulting in savings of 30% to 50% against traditional book/courseware purchasing.

Under this program, institutions only incur charges for the course sections utilizing content. The implementation of BibliU’s Equitable Access is scalable at an institution-wide level, covering all students regardless of their financial situation. This standardized approach levels the playing field for those enrolled, driving equity of access in higher education.

Students maintain freedom of choice and have the ability to 'opt-out' of the Equitable Access program each semester, and procure the content (textbooks/courseware) independently.For classes/content that are not suitable for digital provision, physical books will be stocked in the bookstore. Students can purchase these books independently, and use financial aid.
