How does the program work?

BPCC Book Pass takes the hassle out of getting your course materials because costs are covered as a fee of $25.50 per credit hour. This allows every enrolled student access to all required materials on or before the first day of class. Once students have selected their courses, the course list will be sent to the Campus Bookstore. The Campus Bookstore gets everything ready. All students need to do is check their school email for how to access course materials for the term. 

How do students participate in the program?

While all students are automatically enrolled, there is an option to opt-out or opt back in during the drop-add period. Students who would like to review the option to opt-out of the program, please review the FAQ titled “Is the program required or can students opt-out of the program” below.

How do students get course materials?

Once a student is registered for courses, the bookstore will get everything ready for you. Students will receive confirmation emails sharing details to access digital materials in the learning management system. If students have physical materials, the campus store will communicate with you when you can pick up these materials.

What are the benefits for students?

There are many benefits to students, including:  

• Deferred student billing direct to student accounts. 
• Course materials available day one with no waiting in line with heavy books. 
• Digital platforms offer key features such as: highlighting, flash cards & note-sharing, leading to greater success in the course.
• Reduced stress related to finding and purchasing the correct course materials.

Will students save money?

Students can save between 20% - 60% based on savings at other schools and thanks to the campus store relationships with publishing partners and bulk purchasing power. The program also reduces student stress during the purchasing process and provides a method to easily access, manage and use all course materials regardless of format or cost.

What type of materials will students receive?

Depending on classes and the course materials required by faculty, students may receive a combination of: digital course materials, printed textbooks, printed lab manual or workbooks.

How often are materials supplied?

Required materials are supplied at the beginning of each term. The materials will be accessible on or before the first day of class. Students should continue to check their school email (from noreply@follett.com) before the start of each term.

Can students have printed learning materials shipped to them?

Yes. For printed materials, students will receive an email (check your school email address) when the materials are ready for pick-up. For an additional fee, students can choose to have materials shipped. Contact your campus store at 1610mgr@follett.com for details.

Do I get to keep my materials at the end of each term?

Printed materials are yours to keep at the end of each term. Digital materials can be accessed for a minimum of 180 days and may be available for longer period of time based on the material adopted and the publisher's terms.

Can I choose if I want print or digital materials?

Print or digital format is determined based on the adopted material for the specific course prior to the start of class. As a student, if you have a preferred format (print or digital) for textbooks, you should first check with your faculty member to see what format has been chosen for the course. 

If it is a digital version, you can contact the bookstore for available print options.

If you are a student with a qualified disability requiring print versions or other accommodations, please contact Accessibility Services for more information.
