The Course Material Value Pack (CMVP) program is an affordability initiative that provides all required course materials to you at the lowest price available. The cost is part of your Rensselaer tuition and can be easily paid along with your other charges. Required digital course materials will be made available directly within the RPI LMS system and via your RPI email.

The CMVP information will be updated for Fall 2026 in late June. There are no CMVP participants for the Summer 2026 courses.
