According to the Education’s Cash Management Regulations: Under proposed §668.164(c)(2), if an institution includes the costs of books and supplies as part of tuition and fees it must separately disclose those costs and explain why including them is in the best financial interests of students. Case Western Reserve, Weatherhead School of Management provides all books, cases and articles to the students enrolled in the Executive MBA Program. These materials are delivered to the students prior to, or at the start of each term. The total cost of books, cases and articles is approximately $2,460 per student over the five semester program. While students could purchase these materials directly from the vendor it is usually at a higher cost (for example, Harvard Business Publishing cases sold directly to the student would be 67% higher). However, each student has the right to opt out of the all-inclusive tuition rate and purchase the materials on their own. Students will receive a $615 credit each fall and spring semester if they chose to purchase their own materials. A student who takes this option does so for the entire academic year (i.e., you can’t opt in or out by term). Students that opt out are responsible for locating and purchasing all materials prior to class deadlines and are responsible for paying all copyright charges according to current copyright laws.
