Update on New Course Material Model, ISU Book Bundle

Since the July 15 launch date of the ISU Book Bundle, our new course material acquisition program, students have begun receiving information about their course materials from the ISU Bookstore. Faculty can support students by providing information related to the ISU Book Bundle and encouraging students to consider their options. 

Beginning with the Fall 2024 term, students will receive all their course materials from the bookstore in a convenient package. Materials will be available on or before the first day of class and the cost of those materials will be billed as part of their tuition for $24.75 per credit hour.

As you might receive questions from your students about how and where to get their course materials, here is information you can share on the student experience:

• July 15, students received an email instructing them to visit their personalized course page and review their course materials.

• Students must visit their page and complete the on-screen process by selecting their preferred delivery method.

• Students may choose to opt out of the program if the costs are not beneficial for them.

• Upon completion and selection of their delivery method, the bookstore will begin preparing a personalized package with all their course materials.

• Students can receive delivery at their home, or they will receive an email notification when their order is ready for pickup at the bookstore. Digital materials will be available in Moodle.

If you or your students 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 are available at isu.edu/bookbundle.

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