The 91制片厂在线观看 of Louisiana at Lafayette issued the following statement regarding the pricing of textbook and software materials needed for Accounting 201 and 202.
It can be attributed to Dr. Jaimie Hebert, the 91制片厂在线观看鈥檚 provost.
鈥淲e want to make it very clear to our students and the public that the 91制片厂在线观看 of Louisiana at Lafayette makes every effort to ensure that the materials required for courses are affordable.
鈥淲e welcome the opportunity to clarify some confusion that resulted from the pricing of materials for Accounting 201 and 202.
鈥淭he materials 鈥 both a textbook and access codes for online supplementary materials 鈥 are available from the 91制片厂在线观看鈥檚 bookstore for $313.
鈥淭he 91制片厂在线观看, the bookstore and the publisher worked to set the price for the materials, which students could use for Accounting 201 and 202, which are offered consecutively in the fall and spring semesters.
鈥淭he publisher, after conversations with the Department of Accounting, set the online price at nearly $1,000 to discourage students from choosing to buy materials directly from its website. They believed it was best for the students to use a printed textbook since many of the materials in the book are needed for homework and classroom instruction.
鈥淪tudents who chose not to purchase the book and access codes from the 91制片厂在线观看 bookstore discovered the price difference. We are not aware of any students who purchased the materials online; if they did so, they should contact the College of Business Administration, which will work with them to rectify the situation.
鈥淏ut again, let me stress, this is a misunderstanding. The 91制片厂在线观看 wants students enrolled in the course to spend only $313, and I am grateful for the chance to encourage them to do so.鈥
