Digital Access

Congratulations, the following courses/sections will be included in Joliet Junior College digital access program. Participating in this program allows you to have access to your course materials, from the first day of class, at the lowest price possible. You do not need to purchase your textbook separately from the JJC Bookstore. Some courses do require the purchase of supplemental course materials (i.e. lab book, goggles, or calculator). Please use the textbook lookup tool for up to date pricing and course material information.

After your instructor opens the course in iCampus, log into your course on CANVAS and follow the instructions to access your course materials if you have not done so already. You will have access to these materials instantaneously. Instructions will be sent to your JJC email account in a welcome email for Digital Access. Please see your instructor with any questions in regards to accessing your digital materials. 

Payment for these digital course materials are/were due with your tuition charges; it is your responsibility to make payments by your scheduled payment due date.  If, for some reason, you decide you do not want to purchase these materials through the digital materials course fee, you can opt-out of the digital access course materials program by going to your course book and clicking on the Redshelf menu item to view your course material and select “OPT-OUT” by the opt-out deadline.  After opting-out, you will no longer be able to access the materials required for this course at the price provided by Joliet Junior College. If you opt-out by the deadline, your student account will be credited the digital book fee (only) 3-14 days after the deadline and the credit will be applied consistent with the payment method.

Opting-out is not the same as dropping a course! The opt-out deadline is NOT the same as a refund deadline for the course. Opt-out only refers to digital course materials.  If you decide not to attend it is your responsibility to drop the course by the refund date to avoid any financial liability to the college.

Beginning with Fall 2020, the per term charge to the student for sequential courses has changes. For students starting a sequential course sequence this Fall, you will no longer opt-out in subsequent semesters. Beginning in Fall 2020, the charge will split up to a per term charge in order to reduce the cost for each semster and avoid manual refunds due to paying upfront. If you are in a sequential course and STARTED THE COURSE PRIOR TO FALL 2020, you will opt-out for refund. Opt-out BEFORE the deadline and attempt to login to the materials to see if your access in active.
