The high cost of textbooks and course materials is one factor that can influence student success. Open Educational Resources, or OER, are free-to-access textbooks and other course materials that instructors can use in their courses to provide more equitable learning opportunities for students. OER have been shown to impact student performance and retention, especially for low-income and first-generation students. 51�������� courses with assigned materials totaling less than $40 are tagged as “NoLo” (No or Low-Cost Textbooks) in 51�������� course schedule descriptions. This fall 51�������� students saved up to $120,000 in NoLo courses.
