A Zero Textbook Cost (ZTC) course is one where students do not pay for textbooks, lab manuals, homework platforms, or other required instructional materials. When you see the ZTC logo, it means that all your learning materials are provided at no cost to you.
You may still have to pay for items like art supplies, calculators, or scantrons.
A Low Textbook Cost (LTC) course is one where required instructional materials cost less than $40.
You may still have to pay for items like art supplies, calculators, or scantrons.
You can find ZTC or LTC courses in the class schedule by looking for the ZTC and LTC symbols next to the course number.
The ZTC symbol is a textbook icon with a slashed dollar sign.
The LTC symbol is a textbook icon with a yellow down arrow.
A ZTC Pathway is a degree or certificate program where at least one section of every required course is offered as ZTC. You can get your degree without ever purchasing a textbook!
