Lawson State offers free and inexpensive textbook options for its students. One such option is Cengage Unlimited.

How Cengage Works:  Students pay a one-time subscription fee for either 1-year access (for $214.99) or 4 months access ($139.99) and gain viewing rights to all the textbooks in Cengage's full inventory.  See the listing of classes (at Lawson) that use Cengage Unlimited textbooks to determine if the subscription price would be cost savings for you.  What this means?  This means that, depending on the classes you are enrolled in, you could pay one fee but gain access to a lot of your textbooks needed for the term/year. 

Lawson State has over 65 participating classes that use Cengage textbooks (see below), so review the listing below to see if a Cengage Unlimited.

Watch this video to learn more about the benefits of Cengage.

At Lawson, the following General Education courses use Cengage.
