[GOAL] Produce a final recommendation on whether to adopt a system-wide “inclusive access” digital course materials model for a 12-college community college system for the next academic year, balancing student affordability, financial-aid compliance, accessibility/IT readiness, and contract risk while minimizing disruption to course delivery.

[R0.1] Student Financial Services Compliance Manager (speak, public): To ensure we're on the right track with the inclusive access model for digital course materials, can we discuss how the charging structure will be implemented and how it aligns with our federal disclosure timing and refund processing requirements?
[R0.2] Instructional Technology & Accessibility Lead (speak, public): The charging structure for the inclusive access model will rely on the data elements required for access provisioning, such as student email and SIS course section ID. From a technical standpoint, we've tested the LMS integration and seen that roster sync latency averaged 45 minutes during the pilot at 3 colleges. However, to ensure a smooth rollout, I'd like to understand more about the financial operations and timelines that will drive the provisioning process and support load.
[R0.3] Procurement & Campus Store Director (speak, public): The proposed inclusive access price model is $62 per course, representing a 38% average savings compared to print. We forecast 48,000 enrollments per term for included courses. I'd like to understand how the charging structure and financial operations will be aligned to ensure a seamless experience for students and minimize potential disruptions.

[R1.1] Student Financial Services Compliance Manager (speak, public): To ensure compliance with federal regulations, we need to confirm that the course materials fee is disclosed to students at least 10 days before the term starts and that the opt-out window closes on day 7 of the term. Can you both confirm how the charging structure will be implemented to meet these timelines and how we'll handle the reconciliation process to ensure it meets the weekly roster-to-billing reconciliation requirement with a variance threshold of 1%?
[R1.2] Instructional Technology & Accessibility Lead (speak, public): To align with the federal disclosure timing and refund processing requirements, we need to ensure that the data elements required for access provisioning are available and synced with our SIS in a timely manner. Given that we've seen a roster sync latency of 45 minutes during the pilot, I'm confident that we can meet the disclosure timeline. However, I'd like to confirm with the Procurement & Campus Store Director whether the proposed $62 per course price model and 48,000 enrollments per term forecast have been stress-tested for potential opt-out rates and the resulting impact on revenue.
[R1.3] Procurement & Campus Store Director (speak, public): We've considered various opt-out rates in our financial modeling, and while our forecast assumes 48,000 enrollments per term, we've stress-tested the model against different opt-out scenarios. The proposed $62 per course price is competitive, and we're confident it will drive significant adoption. However, I'd like to understand more about the potential support load and any additional costs associated with ensuring timely data sync and reconciliation to meet the federal disclosure and refund processing requirements.

[R2.1] Student Financial Services Compliance Manager (speak, public): To confirm we're on track with the inclusive access model, can you both clarify how the proposed $62 per course price and the 48,000 enrollments per term forecast will be managed in terms of billing and refunds, especially considering the 17% opt-out rate from the Spring 2025 pilot? Additionally, I'd like to understand how the weekly roster-to-billing reconciliation process will be operationalized to maintain the 1% variance threshold.
[R2.2] Instructional Technology & Accessibility Lead (speak, public): To address the billing and refunds for the inclusive access model, we need to ensure that our technical infrastructure can support the weekly roster-to-billing reconciliation process with a 1% variance threshold. From an accessibility and IT readiness perspective, we've assessed the student device access capacity and found that our loaner pool of 420 Chromebooks had a peak utilization of 73% during the pilot. However, to manage the support load effectively, I'd like to understand more about the operational plan for handling potential issues that may arise during the opt-out period and the reconciliation process.
[R2.3] Procurement & Campus Store Director (speak, public): To manage the support load effectively and address potential issues during the opt-out period and reconciliation process, we'll need to ensure that our campus store service fee model is aligned with the operational costs. The campus store service fee is $6 per enrollment under the draft agreement. I'd like to understand more about the technical infrastructure's readiness to handle the weekly roster-to-billing reconciliation process and any potential costs associated with ensuring timely data sync and reconciliation.

[R3.1] Student Financial Services Compliance Manager (speak, public): To ensure we're on track with the inclusive access model, can you both confirm that the technical infrastructure and operational plan are in place to support the weekly roster-to-billing reconciliation process with a 1% variance threshold, and how the $6 campus store service fee per enrollment will be managed within the overall charging structure?
[R3.2] Instructional Technology & Accessibility Lead (speak, public): To confirm that we're on track with the inclusive access model, we've assessed the technical infrastructure's readiness and found that the LMS integration pilot performance was satisfactory, with a roster sync latency of 45 minutes. We've also ensured that the data elements required for access provisioning, such as student email and SIS course section ID, are available. However, to support the weekly roster-to-billing reconciliation process with a 1% variance threshold, I'd like to understand more about the operational plan for handling potential issues that may arise during the opt-out period and the reconciliation process, and how the $6 campus store service fee per enrollment will be managed within the overall charging structure.
[R3.3] Procurement & Campus Store Director (speak, public): To ensure we're on track with the inclusive access model, I'd like to confirm that we've considered the operational plan for handling potential issues during the opt-out period and the reconciliation process. The contract structure is a 36-month term with a 4% annual escalator. I'd like to understand more about how the technical infrastructure will support the weekly roster-to-billing reconciliation process with a 1% variance threshold, and how the $6 campus store service fee per enrollment will be managed within the overall charging structure.

[R4.1] Student Financial Services Compliance Manager (speak, public): To finalize our decision on the inclusive access model, I need to confirm that we've addressed all compliance and operational concerns. Can you both summarize how the proposed charging structure, technical infrastructure, and operational plan will ensure compliance with federal disclosure timing, refund processing requirements, and the weekly roster-to-billing reconciliation process with a 1% variance threshold?
[R4.2] Instructional Technology & Accessibility Lead (speak, public): To summarize, we've confirmed that the technical infrastructure is ready to support the inclusive access model, with satisfactory LMS integration pilot performance and adequate student device access capacity. We've also ensured that the data elements required for access provisioning are available. To finalize, I'd like to confirm that the operational plan for handling potential issues during the opt-out period and the reconciliation process is in place, and that the $6 campus store service fee per enrollment will be managed within the overall charging structure to ensure compliance with federal disclosure timing and refund processing requirements.
[R4.3] Procurement & Campus Store Director (speak, public): To summarize, we've confirmed that the proposed inclusive access price model is $62 per course, representing a 38% average savings compared to print, and we forecast 48,000 enrollments per term for included courses. The contract structure is a 36-month term with a 4% annual escalator, and the campus store service fee is $6 per enrollment. I'd like to confirm that we've addressed all concerns regarding the technical infrastructure, operational plan, and compliance with federal disclosure timing and refund processing requirements. If we're confident in our readiness, I'm prepared to move forward with the agreement.
