Norwich ACCESS Program

Text books on shelves

Norwich University has partnered with Follett to ensure every student has every book needed for every class, by the first day of class. Our faculty will provide their course material selections to Follett, who in turn will prepare all books and course materials so they are available in Moodle, accessible to you and ready to go for the first day of class. There is enough to think about when starting a new term – Norwich ACCESS allows you to check “books” off your list right from the start. 

No need to worry about getting the right edition or shipping delays, and since the costs are clear to see on your invoice as “Follett Access Program Fee” there are no hidden fees or surprises later. And with Follett’s relationships with publishers and bulk purchasing, you can rest easy knowing you’re getting the best pricing for your course materials.

Students receiving digital course materials through the Norwich ACCESS program will receive an email from Follett.  Your digital course materials can be accessed via the URLs provided in the email, and then on the first day of classes, they will also be available automatically in your online classroom.

You will still be automatically enrolled in the Norwich ACCESS program. If digital materials are not an option in your course, physical materials will be mailed to you at the same flat rate cost. You will not need to return these materials when the course ends. 

Digital materials are removed from the online classrooms at the end of the term – you don’t need to do a thing! Physical books do not need to be returned; they are yours to keep.
