For those of you using traditional textbook materials from our Campus Store (Follett), we invite you to join Cal Poly Humboldt’s very successful Immediate Access program for your Fall materials adoption.

We are in our 3rd semester of Immediate Access.

Immediate Access is an opt-in program for faculty for any sections where you are using bookstore materials or working with a third-party publisher.

The program provides:

• Huge savings to students—Students saved an average of $141.95 each this Spring ’26 semester, over $80K in total savings.  The program offers savings over online third—party publishers too.
• Immediate Access allows students to opt out up to the course add/drop date--we’ve only had a 1-2.5% opt out rate for the past 3 semesters.
• Immediate Access ensures students have online digital access to course materials in Canvas prior to the start of classes—a win for you and students to have materials in place on day one for instruction and accessible online with the ability to also download information in Canvas for portability.
• Our new Kortext reader is a leading industry program that provides conversion of text to speech with voice and speed controls, text and background personalization, and display options.
• Students don’t need to find textbooks or materials—when they register for a class in the Immediate Access program--materials are automatically set up in Canvas and billing is charged to their student account where financial aid can cover.

Immediate Access is currently adopted in 18 sections in 10 departments with 12 instructors here at Cal Poly Humboldt.  We want to see more faculty share in the ease and success of providing this great service to students.
