Textbook Accessibility and Affordability

Vassar students often report challenges accessing and affording required course materials. The College is committed to ensuring that every student can participate fully in the curriculum, regardless of financial need. The Movement for Affordable Textbooks (MAT) website highlights a variety of resources – financial, library, departmental, and peer-to-peer – that can help students navigate the costs of textbooks and other materials.

If you are concerned about cost, please see below.¹
