Student FAQs

What is Equitable Access?

McMurry’s course materials program follows an equitable access format and is administered through the MCM Online Bookstore and provides all students with all of their required course materials on the first day of class at one affordable price.

How is this program beneficial to all students?

Although all students pay the same tuition and fees, regardless of their major, there is still a financial disparity in the costs of textbooks and other course materials. To address this issue and promote equal academic opportunities for all students, this program adopts a pricing model for course materials that aligns with the other costs of attendance. By doing so, it aims to reduce the financial disparity and ensure that all students, regardless of their field of study, have access to the educational resources they need in order to succeed.
