Book Fee

Students must purchase textbooks, e-books, and/or other physical and digital learning materials required for their courses, commonly referred to collectively as “Required Course Materials.”

• In courses that do not utilize a digital learning platform with integrated Required Course Materials (“Non-Integrated Courses”), students have the option to (1) purchase Required Course Materials through Rasmussen University part of American Public University System (Rasmussen) for a flat cost for each Required Course Material, as described below; or (2) opt-out of purchasing Required Course Materials through Rasmussen, as described in the Textbook Opt-Out Policy, and source their own vendor for such purpose.
• In courses that utilize a digital learning platform with integrated Required Course Materials (“Integrated Courses”), students must purchase Required Course Materials through Rasmussen, as described below, because the use of the integrated digital learning platform does not make the Required Course Materials available in this format from sources other than the University. Additionally, because of the integrated nature of the digital learning platform, students will not be able to opt-out of purchasing Required Course Materials through Rasmussen University for Integrated Courses.

The flat cost for each Required Course Material when purchasing through Rasmussen University is $25.00, plus applicable taxes. For example: If a course has two Required Course Materials, then the student will be charged $50.00, plus applicable taxes, for the cost of Required Course Materials in addition to all other applicable tuition and fee charges.
