Welcome to the IncludED Program!

Columbia State is introducing a convenient and affordable program that delivers the required materials for your course in digital format by the first day of class. Columbia State has selected this cost-saving material to ensure your success in the course. This comes at a significantly reduced cost compared to the traditional physical textbooks and course materials.

Your IncludED Course Materials as well as other information about the program will be delivered through your student email or instructor by or on the first day of class.

When you register for the course, the bookstore charge will appear on your school account. The cost of the material can be paid for by financial aid or out of pocket. Please note that the cost of the material is not covered by Tennessee Promise, Tennessee Reconnect or Dual Enrollment grants. For information concerning your student account, please contact the Business Office at Businessoffice@Columbiastate.edu.

If you decide you do not want to purchase the course materials provided to you as part of the program, you can use the Columbia State Community College Customer Portal to opt out of the program. *
