Applying for incentive program
Faculty who currently use a traditional textbook and elect to adopt an Open Education Resource (OER) textbook may be eligible to receive a stipend. Stipends are limited and on a first-come, first-serve basis.
- The OER Taskforce makes final approval for consideration for the stipend.
- Faculty will be required to survey their students at the end of each semester and report the results of the survey to the OER Taskforce.
- Only open resources will be considered. Open Educational Resources (OER) are released under an open license that permits their free use and repurposing by others.
Please submit this form for consideration.

- $500, first-time adoption of an OER textbook that faculty member has remixed/adapted for a section, agree to use for at least 2 semesters and share alike, reduces cost for students to $0
