Affordable Access programs transform how students receive course materials, providing improved access, convenience and affordability. However, managing these programs can be complex for campuses. That’s where MBS Store Technology Solutions steps in. Our powerful tools and integrations make inclusive access management more streamlined while adding efficiency.
Seamless Affordable Access Management
Our system provides campus stores with a fully integrated solution for affordable access. It empowers stores to manage every aspect of their program — from faculty adoptions to student billing — with greater efficiency and less manual work.
- Easy Affordable Access Management
Faculty can indicate interest in affordable access directly within the adoption process. Stores can designate affordable access titles and courses with a single click, even retroactively. Multiple versions of a title (print, digital, lifetime access) can be managed effortlessly. - Integrated Systems
Built-in integrations facilitate data syncing between the MBS system, Verba Connect and Verba Collect. Term, course, and adoption information sync automatically every night keeping both platforms up to date. - Streamlined Billing
At the end of census, billing files from Connect can be imported into the MBS system to charge student accounts or update sales records—no need for duplicate data entry. - Intuitive eCommerce Experience
Students benefit from a clear, user-friendly experience on your store’s website. Affordable access titles are automatically flagged, “Add to Cart” buttons are removed for confirmed participating titles, and census dates help guide opt-in/opt-out decisions.
Simplified Billing and Student Experience
Affordable access billing is handled smoothly through MBS. Whether charging student accounts or updating sales records, the process is automated and accurate. On the student side, your eCommerce site clearly communicates inclusive access options, helping students make informed decisions.
Affordable access doesn’t have to be complicated. With the MBS collegiate retail system, campus stores can simplify management, increase efficiency, and provide a better experience for faculty and students alike.
