UNLV students on average spend more than 12-hundred dollars a semester on books and supplies.
In the interest of making higher education more affordable and accessible to more students – the university created a Open Educational Resources task force.
For the first time – many students are getting free and low-cost textbooks through the pilot program this semester.
