Ordering Textbooks
Hawaii and American Samoa Students: Check your Textbooks Online!
- Most classes use convenient Inclusive Access e-textbooks that are included in Blackboard once your class session begins! Inclusive Access is an electronic textbook rental program that gives you access to your course books from the start of the session without worrying about shipping, since the books are electronic.
- E-textbook rental charges are automatically charged to your student account when you register for classes. You can view and pay the textbook charge through your Student Services account.
- If you do not wish to use the Inclusive Access e-textbook, you must Opt Out within the first 7 days of the session (by Census Date). To Opt Out, you can open the e-textbook in Blackboard and click the Opt Out button. If you do not Opt Out by Census Date each session, the e-textbook charge will remain on your account and will need to be paid, whether you use the e-book or not.
