Please note that many Regional Campus classrooms double as computer labs. Therefore, availability may be based on class schedules.

No. But it is important to check if there is Flash Book connected with a course. If you do not wish to accept the Flash Book (and associated charge) you must formally opt-out during the required time period or you will be charged for its use.

Flash Books are electronic versions of textbooks provided in lieu of a traditional paper copy of the book. Flash Book content is provided to students (including Senior Guests) as soon as the course is made available via Canvas. If you do not wish to accept the Flash Book, there is a designated time period during which you may formally opt-out.
