To designate your class section(s) as being zero-textbook cost, select one of the "ZTC" options, as defined by the XB12 Instructional Materials Code, on the Textbook Adoption Form submitted each term. These classes will be made searchable to students in the online Class Schedule platform prior to registration.
If using Open Educational Resources (OER), please share those materials by selecting the "OER" option on the Textbook Requisition Form and list the OER textbook citation and/or link. Please make sure your materials have been licensed as an OER before noting your online materials as such on the form. In addition to helping to inform student, it supports efforts to develop a repository of OER resources being used by faculty across the CCC system to aid others searching for open class content.
