ISU Book Bundle: New Course Material Model Starting Fall 2024

Idaho State University is moving to a new course material model that will reduce the cost of materials for students and ensure they have all their materials across all courses prior to the first day of class, August 19, 2024.

With the ISU Book Bundle, instead of purchasing materials a la carte, the cost, just $24.75 per credit hour, will be included in their tuition and fees. The bookstore will provide each student with a convenient package for physical books and digital materials will be delivered directly to Moodle. For physical materials, students can select their preferred delivery method - either in the bookstore or delivery to their home. There are action steps students will be required to complete, and additional information will be provided to them in the coming weeks.

For our faculty, with this new model, there are no restrictions in the course materials you select for your course. All course materials, from any publisher, in your preferred format, are included in the program. The only requirement is that your course material selections be turned into the bookstore by April 1, 2024.

Your Next Step: Please submit your course material adoptions by April 1, so materials are ready and available to students before the first day of class.

If you have any questions, please contact Michael Larson at mlarson@bncollege.com or (208) 282-4289. Additional information and answers to frequently asked questions for both faculty and students will be available at a dedicated website in the future.

Thank you for your support in launching this exciting program for our students!
