Required materials are supplied at the beginning of each term. The materials will be accessible on or before the first day of class when the Moodle class shell opens. Please continue to check your school email before the start of each term.

Yes! Students can save up to 60% or 80% based on savings at other schools and thanks to the campus store relationships with publishing partners and bulk purchasing power. The program also reduces student stress during the purchasing process and provides a method to easily access, manage and use all course materials regardless of format or cost.

Students are not required to participate in the VGCC Textbook+ program. Some students may find it more cost effective to purchase a 12-month Cengage Unlimited subscription from the bookstore or to source textbooks another way; VGCC encourages our students to source required course materials in the way that works best for their unique needs. Students who opt-out of the VGCC Textbook + Program are responsible for finding and purchasing their required course materials on their own. All materials will be available at the VGCC Bookstore . where you can pick from different format and pricing options.
