Welcome Textbook Affordability Campus Coordinators (TACC)

Dear AL$ /  AB798 Community,

To begin planning for the second round of AB 798 Bonus funding, please follow the links to the DRAFT AB 798 document below.

AB 798 Bonus Funding:

NEW:  Partner with a Campus

The RFP for Round 2 funding will enable campuses that did not receive Round 1 funding to apply for Round 2 funding IF they partner with a Round 1 grantee and the two campuses collectively reduce the cost of more course sections – at least double the number of course sections. Campuses that did not receive Round 1 funding can partner with a CCC or a CSU campus.    The goal is to "at least double the number of course sections" with OER for CCC and CSU students.

Your feedback on the draft RFP will be appreciated.

Expanding Textbook Affordability Programs on your Campus and Requesting Additional State Funding Opportunities Conference, January 30, 2018

The RFP details and questions will be addressed at the Affordable Textbook conference on January 30, 2018, Hyatt, LAX.  CCC and CSU registration is complimentary.  Email cool4ed@cdl.edu for registration code.

If you have any questions, please email cool4ed@cdl.edu.
