Grizzly Readiness Program

The Adams State University Grizzly Readiness Program provides affordable access to required course materials for students through an Inclusive Access model. Students receive their digital course materials on or before the first day of class, helping ensure they have the resources needed to succeed.

By partnering with publishers and vendors, the bookstore secures discounted pricing while providing faculty with tools to support student engagement and success.

How It Works

Faculty select course materials for their classes. The bookstore then works with publishers and vendors to secure discounted pricing.

When a student registers for a course participating in Grizzly Readiness, materials are provided digitally before or on the first day of class and the course material charge is applied to the student's account.
