SB 1359 legislation now mandates us to communicate to students zero textbook costs
sections via online class schedules. List all of your zero textbook cost class sections
for next semester below. Students may still incur costs for print versions of free digital materials which
are open, institutionally or properly licensed, instructional supplies such as scientific
calculators, lab goggles, Scantrons, and optional instructional materials. Digital learning platforms that use open educational resources for which students
incur costs are not zero textbook cost classes. Also provide this information and any materials (pdf packets, or open textbooks)
to the campus bookstore as part of the textbook requisition process. This is so that
information and/or ability to purchase low cost print versions of free digital materials
can be made available to students when they access the campus bookstore and website.
If you need assistance contact your division dean. For information about open educational
resources and zero textbook cost options visit www.valleycollege.edu/oer
