¹ The Textbook Fee comes under a new program known as SIU myTextbooks that will cover all required course materials for most on-campus, off-campus, and online students.  DMSc, MSPA, and MD students in the School of Medicine will not be part of this program.  Nursing students may be impacted differently than other students.

² Students will have the option to opt out of the SIU myTextbooks program covered by the Textbook Fee, but would need to do so by the end of the second week of the semester/session.  More details about this program are available at https://textbooks.siu.edu/.
