Faculty FAQ
On this page, you will find answers to faculty frequently asked questions about Immediate Access (IA).
For overall general information, visit the IA welcome page.
- How does the program work?Student electronic course materials will be accessed from inside the Canvas course on day one of their class. Their university account will be charged for the course materials two weeks before the term starts. Students will receive a discounted rate for required course materials through this program. Discounts vary by volume and publisher. Students can opt-out of the program or opt back in until the 2nd Friday of the semester.
- Who is participating in Immediate Access?Faculty can choose to participate in Immediate Access (IA) for all or some of their courses. Participating in the Immediate Access program ensures that students will have all required course materials on or before the first day of class, for a percentage of the original cost. Talk with the Wildcat Bookstore if you have more questions or email immediateaccess@csuchico.edu.
- How often are materials supplied?Required materials are supplied at the beginning of each term. Faculty members will add the link to the materials in their Canvas course making them accessible on, or before, the first day of class. Students who add the course after the first day will have access to the materials once they log into the Canvas course.
