Affordable Access - Open Nebraska - UNL

Background/Overview

Open Nebraska courses include free or reduced-cost materials to increase student affordability. Course schedules contain attributes to indicate which courses use free or reduced-cost course materials.

Open Nebraska (ONE) Course Marking Process

Inclusive Access materials are managed through the Campus Bookstore or the Unizin Engage programs and will be automatically marked. Instructors or departments do not need to submit a request for a course using these materials for them to be added.

For maximum student visibility during the class search and registration process instructors or their representatives, should submit this form for the upcoming term by these dates:

  • Fall- March 1
  • Spring- October 1
  • Summer- February 15

Marking a course with OER attributes with this form will transfer to the same class and section in future semesters. Instructors or their representatives only need to use this form go.unl.edu/oneform to mark all their OER courses once. 

This is a link to the Pressbook Student Guide to Inclusive Access that how a student can search in MyRed for affordable textbooks which shows step by step how they can search by the affordable textbook attributes.
