When you're registering for courses next semester, did you know you can search specifically for classes that don't assign an expensive textbook?
The Zero-Cost Course Materials designation, ZCCM, means that you won't have to spend a single penny on any textbooks, software, or other materials for that particular section of a course.
The Low-Cost Course Materials designation, LCCM, means that you will have to purchase some materials for the course, but the total cost must be under $40.
Follow the steps below to learn how you can find these courses the next time you're choosing what sections to sign up for.
How to Search for ZCCM & LCCM Courses:
