At UCF, faculty aren’t limited to hardback textbooks and physical materials that cost students lots of money.

We offer a multitude of options to enhance your courses and support your students both academically and financially.

In fact, the Affordable Instructional Materials (AIM) Initiative works to keep course materials costs more equitable and accessible.

That’s why we’re committed to advising you on your options for your course materials.

Faculty can choose:

Each of these resources serve different functions. Learning which is best for you and your students is vital.

Choosing the best option for your course shouldn’t be confusing. By visiting our website, you can determine what works for you as you continue to create the best educational experience for our students.

And remember, regardless of the materials you choose, your adoption is required to be submitted through UCF’s official system of record, Barnes & Noble’s AIP.

The textbook and instructional materials adoption deadline is 60 days before the start of each semester. Faculty can log in using their my.ucf.edu credentials. 

Not sure where to start? Feel free to contact us at Affordable@ucf.edu.

Sincerely,

The Affordable Instructional Materials Committee
