How to Find Zero Textbook Cost (ZTC) Classes
What is ZTC?
At Middle Tennessee State University, we recognize that the high costs of textbooks can be a barrier to student success. ZTC (Zero Textbook Cost) courses do not require students to buy textbooks. These courses eliminate conventional textbook costs by using alternative course materials, such as Open Educational Resources (OER). Students can find ZTC classes in Pipeline by searching for sections marked with the ZTC attribute (see the steps below).
Please note: Students may have to pay for other required supplies, such as art supplies, calculators or other equipment.
