Course Materials
Students use various required course materials including text books, electronic books (e-Books), supplies, and software in online courses. Words of Wisdom, LLC, provides a custom suite of these required materials to students on behalf of AIU Online. Costs for these materials are not charged separately and are considered part of the total degree program costs. Students being charged the military tuition rate will have the cost of their books waived. At the University’s discretion, books may be delivered in an electronic (e-Book) format, which may be accessed by the student for the duration of the applicable course(s), or as a physical textbook, which may become the property of the student. Students not wishing to use e-Books are responsible for any additional charges associated with purchasing physical text books.
Students shall be responsible for following warning labels placed on software, and following all installation and use instructions provided by software manufacturers.
AIU Online course materials cannot be returned for credit. In addition, there is currently no “buy-back” program in place which allows students to sell their books back to Words of Wisdom or to AIU Online at the end of a session.
