Does the institution host a peer-to-peer textbook exchange program, textbook lending library, or alternate textbook project?:
Yes
A brief description of the textbook exchange program, textbook lending library, or alternate textbook project:
CMC offers students an innovative solution to the challenge most college students encounter, obtaining the correct textbooks, we call it the Learning Materials Program (LMP). The Learning Materials Program combines the conveniences of a subscription-like service with a vast inventory of textbooks to our students, delivering all required textbooks directly to students before the first day of class at a very affordable (rental) rate per credit hour.
The Learning Materials Program is CMC’s equitable access course materials program. It offers eligible students a flat-rate course materials rental option designed to cost students less per semester compared with purchasing individual textbooks.
The Colorado Mountain College Learning Materials Program is an integrated program designed to deliver student textbooks directly to their residence at the beginning of the semester.
Once students register for their courses an order will populate to send all the required materials to the student. But before that can happen, students need to verify their physical mailing address. Once verification has been completed, all required textbooks conveniently ship directly to the student or the campus location where the student resides.
