“Inclusive access programs play an important role in driving affordability, access and achievement, and we are pleased to see the continued growth of these models on campuses across the country,” said Ann Fraley, Vice President, Campus Solutions, Barnes & Noble College. “We are excited about our expanded partnership with Macmillan Learning, which will ensure faculty and students have wide access to affordable, high-quality digital content and allow for greater success in the classroom and beyond.”

“Macmillan Learning is dedicated to providing all learners with the materials they need to reach their fullest potential in college,” said Simon Horrer, Senior Vice President Finance for Macmillan Learning. “Providing students with the highest quality content in a variety of affordable formats is fundamental to our mission. Ensuring they have immediate access to those course materials on the first day of each course is critical to their success. Working in partnership with BNED ensures that together we are positioning more students for achievement as soon as classes begin.”

Inclusive access models, including Barnes & Noble College’s First Day model, ensure students have the materials they need at the start of the semester which has proven to continuously drive positive outcomes. In these programs, course materials are offered at reduced prices for participating programs, and seamlessly delivered to students through their learning management system on or before the first day of class. By providing students with immediate access to digital course content, inclusive access models allow faculty members to begin instruction – and students to begin learning – right on day one, a goal shared by Macmillan Learning and BNED.
