Jayhawk Book Bundle

What is included in the program?

The program provides all required textbooks, lab manuals, access codes, and digital textbooks.

The program does not include recommended textbooks, print copies of OER materials, or consumable supplies such as lab googles, dissection kits, pens, or binders.
 
How do I enroll in the program?

All students are automatically enrolled, with the exception of students enrolled in the Nursing, OTA, and Sheriff’s Academy programs.

The textbooks used in the Nursing and OTA programs continue to be used in each subsequent semester of the program. It is more convenient and cost effective for these students to continue to purchase their course materials in the traditional manner.
 
Can I opt out of the program?

While it is not recommended, you have the option to opt out of this program within 14 days of the first day of class. Opting out means you will not receive access to your required course materials in a package at a discounted rate. Students who opt out of the program will be responsible for independently securing their course materials.
