Last year, state law changed to allow universities to choose either an \u201copt-in\u201d or \u201copt-out\u201d model for these discounted course materials. Under an opt-out model, students would automatically be enrolled in this program and would have to manually opt-out to avoid charges being added to their student accounts.<\/p>\n<p><strong>91勛圖厙 is not changing its current opt-in model.
