This process is called an "opt-out" inclusive access billing system. Currently, UCF has an "opt-in" system where students can choose to be automatically billed for discounted course materials, but under an opt-out system, students will have no choice before they're billed. Instead, the university and bookstore will send students a bill along with tuition and other fees whether they’re aware of it or not. UCF is one of the only universities remaining that still has an opt-in policy, yet across the country we are starting to see students and legislators pushing back to get their institutions to STOP AUTOMATICALLY BILLING STUDENTS WITHOUT THEIR CONSENT. Sign below if you believe that UCF should stay as an opt-in textbook billing system and that the bookstore does not have the right to automatically charge students. https://actionnetwork.org/petitions/stop-ucf-from-automatically-billing-students-for-textbooks-3
