Lion Textbook Access Program

The University of Arkansas – Fort Smith Lion Textbook Access Program (LTAP) is an exciting initiative designed to save students money and ensure access to all course materials before the first day of class.


How does it work?

Students who register in courses included in the Lion Textbook Access Program will pay a LTAP fee that covers the cost of all course materials. A digital version of the textbooks and other courseware materials within each course will be seamlessly integrated into Blackboard, the university’s learning management system (LMS). Students can save 20-60 percent on required course materials through this program. Emails will be sent to students when their materials become available in Blackboard.
 
LTAP fees are automatically charged to student fee bills. Students can opt out or back in during the drop/add period. The opt-out deadline for LTAP is the final day to add/drop classes for the semester.

  • Added courses: Within 24 hours of adding a course, you will receive an email at your UAFS email address with details to access your digital materials. Almost all materials are provisioned directly into Blackboard.
  • Dropped courses: For courses dropped prior to the drop/add/opt-out deadline, access to electronic or digital materials will automatically be disabled.

For digital material, the length of access is dependent on those specific materials. You should contact the UAFS bookstore for more information.

Yes, financial aid can cover the cost of this program.

Required materials are supplied at the beginning of each term. The materials will be accessed on or before the first day of class. You should continue to check your UAFS email (from noreply@follett.com) before the start of each term.

The majority of course materials and textbooks will be digital. Print materials will be offered if a digital version isn't available. Course materials can be digital, print, external website subscriptions, and any material submitted by faculty that is listed as required. Optional materials and supplies are not included.

Digital materials will be provided in Blackboard prior to the start of class, typically one week. Depending on material, students will either receive further direction from their instructor or an email with directions.

All digital materials that are part of the program will be reviewed to ensure they meet any accessibility requirements. Many eBooks already have an audio option for parts or all of the material.
