The Ivy+ Textbook fee is assessed based on the number of credit hours a student is taking over the 16-week semester. Students are not charged for individual courses or for specific textbooks or materials. The textbook fee is designed to balance the total cost of their required textbooks and courseware across the semester. This could mean that students have some classes with multiple required textbooks and others with none. Students will continue to see savings on the overall costs of their textbooks and courseware during their time at Ivy Tech.
