Frequently Asked Questions

What are the benefits of AutoAccess?

AutoAccess is a collaboration between your professor, the publisher, and the UMSL Triton Store to provide the required course materials digitally at the lowest cost compared to the national average. After you enroll in an AutoAccess course, you will automatically have access to the course materials on the first day.

How will I know if a class has AutoAccess materials?

The Triton Store will email you which of your courses have AutoAccess content.

How do I access my materials?

All AutoAccess materials are accessed through your course in Canvas. Your professor will provide specific directions or communication if needed.

Why is my student account being charged automatically?

All students enrolled in AutoAccess courses are automatically billed for the content. You will receive a welcome email from the Triton Store that includes the amount you will be charged and the course(s) that are AutoAccess.

What if I drop the course?

As long as you drop the course by the designated opt-out deadline, you will be refunded the cost of your AutoAccess content. Please check your AutoAccess welcome email for the specific date, or email the AutoAccess team () for additional details.

What if I don’t want to participate in AutoAccess?

We have negotiated to get your course materials at the lowest cost. These materials are required by your instructor. If you decide you don’t want to participate, you may opt out by selecting the VitalSource Materials link in your Canvas course.

What if I need a print option?

Some AutoAccess courses have a low-cost print option available for purchase at the Triton Store. The publishers provide this print option at a reduced cost for students in the AutoAccess program. The reduced cost is passed on since you have paid for the content digitally. Students who opt out of the digital content are not eligible to purchase this low-cost print option.
