How to opt out of the Inclusive Access program with VitalSource

Overview

This article will walk through the steps necessary to opt out of course materials for a course using the Inclusive Access program with VitalSource.

Instructions

  1. Go to the VitalSource link in your course.
    VitalSource link to course materials in Brightspace
  2. Under the link to the course materials, click on the "Want to opt out?" button.
    Course material link in VitalSource with Want to opt out button
  3. Select on the reason for the opt out pulldown, then select opt out.
    Confirm your opt out window
  4. You may opt back in up until the opt out deadline. This will be the same day as the last day to drop a course for the semester (date is referenced in the academic calendar) or 1 week after the start of a summer or winter session course.

For more information, check out this video from VitalSource that shows how students can opt out and back in to the course. Please note, the example shows a different LMS than Brightspace, but once you click on the link, it will be the same experience.
