BISON BOOK BUNDLE PROGRAM

BISON BOOK BUNDLE is a course material model that lowers the cost of materials for students and ensures students have access to all their required course materials on or before the first day of class. Through this new program, physical books will be conveniently packaged and provided to students on a rental basis, and digital materials will be delivered directly within Canvas. By bundling course materials as part of the student bill, students save an average of 50% while removing barriers to course material access.

Costs will be a separate charge that will appear on the student bill. At the end of the term, students will receive email reminders to return their physical course materials to the bookstore.
