Zero-Cost Courses, 2023-2024
What is a zero-cost course?
A zero-cost course uses course materials that result in no cost for the students. However, they may not be open. This could mean they are not open to access. For example, ES 400 uses material accessed through the library, which the library had to purchase a license for. It could also mean they are open to access, but not openly licensed. Some CHEM 203 sections use a textbook that is free but not open.
