Course Material Fee Opt-Out

Opting-out of the Course Material Fee

In an effort to protect students and ensure their best interest, the US Department of Education published new rules (34CFR668.161-167) via the Federal Register on October 30, 2015. The Program Integrity and Improvement rules require Northern Essex Community College to provide students the ability to opt-out of course material fees associated with books or supplies.

NECC is working in partnership with ECampus and the publishers to ensure students get their text books/course materials at a lower cost and in a timely manner. Please note that opting-out of the fee and the automatic delivery of the electronic book and materials, may hinder your success in the class and it is not recommended.
