Zero Textbook Cost (ZTC) and Low Textbook Cost (LTC) Courses have saved MJC students
thousands of dollars, increasing student access and promoting student success through
the use of Open Educational Resources (OER) and other instructional materials. Generally,
required course learning resources are provided to students, usually using digital
resources, in place of a traditional textbook at no cost. (Note: Some course materials
fees, such as a calculator or art supplies, may still exist even in a ZTC course.)
A Low Textbook Cost (LTC) course is one for which the materials for the course cost $35 or less. Starting Summer 2022, the LTC Logo will be available in Class Search for courses with materials with a $35 or less cost.
