Are you a CSUSM faculty member interested in reducing the cost of assigned course materials and textbooks? Have you already reduced these costs in your courses this current academic year?
The Cougars Affordable Learning Materials (CALM) program at CSUSM provides funding to support professional development for faculty who are interested in making their courses zero-cost during the upcoming academic year.
The CALM Application is currently closed. Please check back in the July 2025 for the 25/26 Application.
Email calm@csusm.edu with any questions, and thank you for your interest in reducing the cost of course materials at CSUSM.
If you are not interested in applying for CALM Professional Development Funds but are teaching a zero-cost course, please report you course information down below. Identifying courses that have zero textbook and materials costs in the course schedule is required by California state law (SB 1359).
To learn more about the ZCCM symbol and why it is important to include this information to students registering for classes, visit the Zero-Cost Course Materials page.
