Free and Reduced Cost Course Materials
Benefits & Features
Course attributes allow students and their parents/guardians to see which UNL courses use free or reduced-cost course materials at the time of registration so as to make well-informed choices. Course marking has the strong support of UNL, UNK and UNO Student Governments and Faculty Senates.

Getting Started
Reach out to your Open Nebraska campus support groups.
Instructors or departments at UNL who want to have OER materials added to Open Nebraska can use this Go URL: go.unl.edu/oneform to submit a request to the Registrar’s Office. 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, and 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 to mark all their courses once.
Support
For the most efficient support experience, please submit a ticket using the request form on this page. Alternatively, contact your campus Help Center location via email, by phone, or in person.
