Inclusive Access benefits all higher ed stakeholders. Students are more likely to succeed in their classes, and therefore are more likely to persist and graduate. Colleges and universities increase their retention rates and boost their reputations as institutions that care about their students’ success and financial well-being. Publishers see high sell-through and expand the reach of their high-quality publications.
