STUDENT VOICES

---

Students often have to choose between buying textbooks and meeting their basic needs like food, rent, and car insurance.

Welcome, CSUF students!

Your awareness of and advocacy for open educational resources (OER) and zero-cost course materials (ZCCM) in the classroom is critical in making education more accessible and affordable for yourselves and future students. 

We know that high education costs concern Titans, so we want you to have all the information available to make informed choices about your education. To learn more about how to search for zero-cost course materials in the course schedule, search for required course materials within the library, and advocacy tips for spreading awareness of zero-cost course materials, please visit these guides:
