After being awarded a series of state grants, Yuba College will be able to continue its efforts of reducing, if not eliminating, the costs of textbooks for many of its students, officials announced on Thursday. These grants are designed to help institutions utilize existing open educational resources or public domain learning materials that are free or low-cost to students and meant to be shared. This commitment is an expansion of Yuba College’s existing efforts to reduce textbook costs, and will begin by establishing a zero-cost textbook course pathway in its early childhood development and psychology programs.
