Students in three University of North Georgia courses will get their textbooks free in electronic format thanks to a grant from Affordable Learning Georgia, a University System of Georgia initiative to provide affordable textbooks. Textbooks for the courses — introductory, intermediate and college algebra — would normally cost $188 to $206 when bought new. The University System of Georgia estimates each student spends an average of $1,200 per year on textbooks.
