Inclusive Access: Opting Out

NOTE: Please send all questions about Inclusive Access to inclusiveaccess@unm.edu. For faster service, please include your name, your UNM ID number and your course information (department, course number, section number) as well as an explanation of your situation or question.

Prior to the Add/Drop Deadline for your course (see the HOW TO DETERMINE YOUR COURSE’S ADD/DROP DEADLINE section below for determining your course’s deadline), you may opt out of your inclusive access material. “Opt Out” means you remain registered in the course, but you choose to either get by without course materials, or you obtain your materials in some other fashion. Opt out decisions can be made, and can be reversed, until 11:59pm on the day of the deadline.

Please bear in mind that the price offered by the publisher/UNM Bookstore partnership is supposed to the best available anywhere. If you find a lower price, please send and explanation, along with your course information (department, course number, section number) along with a link to that product with a lower price to inclusiveaccess@unm.edu. We will investigate the offering and see if our partnership can match that price. Evaluation of prices will be conducted on a case by case basis.

SPECIAL NOTE: Print upgrades for Inclusive Access courses are offered at a specially discounted price only to participants in the Inclusive Access program. This restriction is imposed as part of the partnership between the publisher and the UNM Bookstore, and we are contractually obligated to uphold this restriction. Therefore, purchases of print upgrades must be made with your UNM ID card present. Anyone who purchases a print upgrade will also be charged for the Inclusive Access digital product even if you attempt to opt out. Limit one print upgrade per customer.

These instructions for opting out will also be sent to you about a week prior to the opt out deadline for your course. We wait until a week before the deadline to give you time to try out the material and to make an informed decision about whether or not you wish to use the discounted content. Please try the product before automatically opting out. You should find this program a great bargain, and beneficial to your performance in each class.

Remember, if you change your mind about opting out, you can opt back into your course until 11:59pm on the date of the Add/Drop deadline (see below for determining your course’s deadline). See below for additional information about reversing your decision.

In order to successfully opt out, you need to:

1. Log into your Learn course and click the RedShelf button.
2. Click the green “View Course Materials” button.
3. On the upper right corner of the screen, click the “opt out” link.
4. Follow the instructions and fill in the required information, then click “Opt out of all required materials”.

To opt back in, you can return to the list of actions (above), but at step 3, click the “opt in now” button.

HOW TO DETERMINE YOUR COURSE’S ADD/DROP DEADLINE:

The Add/Drop deadline equals the “Last day to DROP without ‘W’ grade and 100% tuition refund on LoboWeb” according to the UNM Registrar’s office. To find the specific date each semester, visit https://registrar.unm.edu/index.php and click on “Semester Deadline Dates” in the left margin, then select your term. Look for the date corresponding to the label “Last day to DROP without ‘W’ grade and 100% tuition refund on LoboWeb”
