USC Academic Resource Center Digital Course Materials Program

USC is excited to introduce the Digital Course Materials Program, coming to our campus in Fall 2025! This program will provide all USC students with their required course materials at an affordable price.

How does the Program work?

The Digital Course Materials Program takes the hassle out of getting course materials by providing students with convenient access to their required materials for the lowest price available. USC has an opt-out model and includes both digital and physical materials, as adopted by individual Professors.

USC Bookstore negotiates required material prices with publishers down to the lowest price available. They then ensure all required digital and physical materials are available, as applicable.

USC undergraduate students enrolled in courses are automatically enrolled in the program, and students who are not interested in the material savings can opt-out of the program each term with no penalty. Students who opt-out of the program are responsible for finding and purchasing their own required materials.
