Introducing the Follett ACCESS Opt-Out Program at Florida State University

Bookstore Follett Access

This message has been approved by Michael Williams, Associate Vice President for Finance and Administration, for distribution to faculty and staff.

We are excited to inform you that Follett ACCESS has transitioned from an opt-in program to an opt-out program at Florida State University. With this change, all students who are enrolled in Follett ACCESS classes will automatically be opted-in, and will have access to the course materials on the first day of class. If a student wishes to not be enrolled in the program, they are able to opt out via the Follett Access Portal.

What is Follett ACCESS?

Follett ACCESS is a program that enables colleges and universities to deliver all course materials (textbooks, lab kits, supplies, etc.) to students as part of tuition and fees so there are no surprises about costs after enrollment. Students can save up to 30%  on course materials, a result of Follett’s deep relationship with publishing partners and bulk purchasing power. The program also reduces student stress during the purchasing process and provides a method to easily access, manage, and use all course materials regardless of format or cost. To learn more about the program benefits, visit bookstore.fsu.edu/follett-access.

Are there limitations?

With Follett ACCESS, faculty members will have the academic freedom to choose the content provider, edition, and medium that best fits the class curriculum. You will be reassured that everyone in class will have the same materials, including edition and format, on day one so that you can begin instruction right away. Follett will also troubleshoot and provide instructions for accessing digital materials.
