All-Access Book Bundle

1. Register for your courses for the upcoming term.
2. Check your Stetson University email for program information and updates regarding your required materials.
3. Complete your rental registration if prompted (see the FAQ below for more details).
4. Access your required digital materials directly in Canvas.

Choice - You decide what works for you.

Undergraduate students are automatically enrolled/opted in for convenience and may choose to stay in the program or opt out each term; no pressure, no penalty.

Prepared - Start the term with everything you need.

Required course materials are available by the first day of class so students can focus on learning rather than searching or shopping for materials. Don’t wait for a refund check, a paycheck from work experience, or additional funding from relatives or friends.

Consistent - A clear, reliable process for each term.

All participating students receive their required course materials for the same program price, regardless of major.

Predictable - Clear program pricing.

No surprise costs. All required course materials are included in one consistent program price, so students can budget with confidence.

Convenient - Access built into your day.

Each term follows a streamlined process. Digital materials are delivered directly in Canvas. Physical materials are prepared for pickup at the bookstore.

Sustainable - Be a steward of the environment.

eBooks eliminate the need for physical materials, which minimizes the demand for paper and associated environmental impacts, such as deforestation and water consumption.

We are investing in your academic success and have automatically enrolled you/opted you into the program. You control opting out and choosing not to participate. Be sure to check your Stetson email when the portal goes live each term. It allows you to process your own opt-out for more control over your participation in the All-Access Book Bundle program. If you choose to opt out, you will receive a confirmation email when it is complete. Be sure to check and ensure that you have completed the process – getting this email is key and will be your indication that the system has accepted your decision to optout. Should you decide if you want to re-enroll in the program, use the same portal to opt back in before the add/drop deadline of each term. Please note that the opt-in takes 24-48 hours for your materials to be reprovisioned once you submit an opt-in choice. While all undergraduate students are automatically enrolled in All-Access Book Bundle when they register for their courses, students have the opportunity to choose to remain in the program or opt out each term. Students who are considering their participation options should know:

• Opting out is on a term-by-term basis, and students must take action to opt out.
• Participation instructions, deadlines, and the opt out portal link will be sent directly to students’ Stetson emails each term.
• Students can manage their own participation by using the portal to opt out or opt back nto the program each term.
• Students will receive email confirmation when opting out or opting back in is complete – typically within 48 hours.
• Students will have until the communicated opt-out deadline each term to modify their participation in the program.
• Digital materials provisioned by the program will be removed from Canvas upon opting out.
• Physical materials provisioned by the program must be returned to the campus store prior to opting out.
• Opting out of the program opts you out of receiving your required course materials for all courses that term.
• There is no penalty to opt out.

Do I have to opt out of the All-Access Book Bundle program every term if I don't want to participate?

Yes, students will have the opportunity to choose the best participation option for them each term. Students who do not want to participate can opt out each term with no penalty.

Can I pick and choose what courses to opt out of?

The All-Access Book Bundle program is either all-in or all-out each term. Students can choose to have their required materials provided for all courses, or for none of their courses each term.

Why is the All-Access Book Bundle fee still on my account after I opted out? Do I still need to pay for it?

The opt out system does not immediately remove the All-Access Book Bundle fee from your account since you will still have the option to opt back in at any time before the add/drop deadline. If you have opted out of the program through the portal, your account will have the All-Access Book Bundle fee removed within a few weeks after the add/drop deadline. You do not need to pay for the All-Access Book Bundle fee portion of your bill if, and only if, you have submitted the opt-out request and will not be opting back in.

The portal tells me I have to return materials before I can opt out. Why?

If you receive required physical materials provisioned through the program, those materials must be returned to the bookstore before you are able to opt out. Students who opt out of the program are responsible for finding and sourcing their own materials for the term, so physical materials must be returned, and digital materials will be removed from Canvas. Once a student has opted out successfully, they will receive an email within 48 hours confirming the opt out. If you have questions, difficulties, or did not receive your confirmation email, please contact the bookstore for assistance.

If I opt out, can I still get my materials from the bookstore?

Absolutely! The bookstore will still carry all the materials you need for your courses, and they’re available in-store or online at the Official Stetson University Bookstore. However, you will not be eligible for the discounts that come with being in the All-Access Book Bundle Program.

Is there a penalty to opt out?

There is no penalty to opt out. While all undergraduate students are automatically enrolled in the All-Access Book Bundle program, you may choose to opt out and are then responsible for finding/purchasing your materials independently. Undergraduate students not interested in participating must take action to opt out of the program by the opt-out deadline for each term.

What happens if I am a part-time student?

Part-time students will be charged $31.75 per credit hour in the summer and fall semesters and $20 per credit hour for the summer semester. Full-time students are charged $350 for the fall and spring semesters and $125 for the summer semester.

What is the All-Access Book Bundle program?

Included as part of students' overall cost of attendance, the All-Access Book Bundle provides required course materials at a single fee that is substantially lower than the cost of buying each item separately. The program has been implemented to eliminate barriers that often hinder students from obtaining the materials they need to complete their courses.

How much does it cost?

The program fee is a part of the total cost of attendance and will appear on your bill as a separate item, charged at a flat rate of $350 per semester for undergraduate students for the Fall and Spring terms. The Summer semester cost is $125 for any of the four summer terms. You can attend multiple summer terms, and you’ll have one $125 All-Access Book Bundle Fee for the summer.

Who is eligible for this program?

All undergraduate courses are part of this program, and undergraduate students on the DeLand campus will see the program's fee on their bill. Stetson Question: What if an undergraduate degree-seeking student is taking a graduate course?  Are these materials included?

How do I participate?

All undergraduate students are automatically enrolled in this program when they register for their courses. Students will see the All-Access Book Bundle Fee reflected on their bill for the term.

What materials are included in the program?

The program primarily focuses on delivering materials in electronic format where possible. Depending on your classes and the course materials your faculty requires, you may receive a combination of digital course materials, printed textbooks, printed lab manuals, or workbooks.

What about other physical materials such as art kits, lab kits, goggles, etc.?

These materials are not included in the All-Access Book Bundle.

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 an undergraduate 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 Stetson University Bookstore to inquire about purchasing a print version.

If you are an undergraduate student with a qualified disability that requires print versions or other accommodations, please contact the Accessibility Services Center for more information.

How do I get my materials?

Digital materials will be made available in Canvas, and physical materials will be prepared for pickup at the bookstore by the start of term. Students will receive emails with more detailed information and can check out the “Your Materials are Ready!” tab in the Access Portal.

How long can I keep my eBooks?

eBook and digital material access is available for a minimum of 180 days after they’re assigned to you and may be longer depending on the publisher’s terms. After that period, access to the material will be removed from Canvas. Students who want prolonged access to their materials can purchase them from the bookstore at their own expense. Each eBook has a “Days Left” counter that shows when your access to the book is running out. If the materials originally assigned were purchased, then you will have access to them indefinitely.

How do I receive my physical materials?

If you are also receiving physical materials through the program, you will receive an email when your materials are ready for pickup at the bookstore. Students who are interested in having their physical materials shipped to them can also add shipping using the information provided below. For more information, check out the “Your Materials are Ready!” tab on the Access Portal.

How do I ship my physical materials?

The bookstore can ship your materials to you via UPS anywhere within the United States for only $10!

Shipping Fee: enter your shipping address and cash out. The bookstore will then ship your materials and send tracking to your email once it’s processed. For international shipping, the charge is $15. The Access Shipping Fee must be paid before the start of each class if physical materials are required.

Check out our demonstration video of how to add shipping.

Can I keep my physical materials at the end of the term?

Required physical materials provided through the program can be kept by the student at the end of the term and do not need to be returned.

What happens if I drop/add a course?

The All-Access Book Bundle program simplifies this process and will honor any dropped/added courses completed before the add/drop deadline of each term.

Digital materials from dropped/added courses will be automatically removed from/added to your Canvas account.

If you receive physical materials for a course, you are no longer taking, you must return those materials to the bookstore within one week of the add/drop deadline. You will be charged the All-Access Book Bundle fee for any materials not returned by the deadline. Students who add a course with physical materials will be emailed when those materials are ready for pickup.

What happens if I withdraw or get dismissed?

The All-Access Book Bundle fee is not refundable after the add/drop deadline. If you withdraw or are dismissed from Stetson after this deadline, the All-Access Book Bundle fee is non-refundable.

What happens if I must retake a class?

If you are required to retake a class, new materials will be provisioned for you again at the start of the next term if you stay in the All-Access Book Bundle program.

What if I do not want eBooks? 

Stetson University is meeting students where they are and enabling students to access their materials wherever they are. This program is digitally focused to provide a seamless, consistent experience and support student learning through new features on digital platforms. Additionally, digital materials allow Stetson to keep the program fee as low as possible and provide the best value to students. Required materials are provisioned based on faculty selection. Students who are in this program may obtain physical versions (at their own expense) for some of the materials at a discounted rate directly from the publisher. Physical alternatives are listed on your course syllabus where applicable.

Is the program mandatory, or can I opt out?

While there are great benefits to the program, students who are not interested in the convenience and delivery of the program may opt out of the program prior to the start of term with no penalty.  You will automatically be re-enrolled into the All-Access Book Bundle Program each term. Therefore, you must submit an opt out each term if you choose to opt out.

You can opt out by logging into the Follett Opt Out Portal.

Watch an opt-out demonstration video.

NOTE: If you choose to opt out of the program, you will be responsible for obtaining your course materials on your own. The bookstore is available to assist where possible but be aware that some materials are locked into the Access program, and provisioning materials outside of the Access program can delay starting the term with the required materials. You may also opt back into the program any time before add/drop by using the same opt-out portal.

I have opted out of the program, but the books on the website are still “locked.” What do I do?

Opting out of the All-Access Book Bundle program does not “unlock” the materials on the bookstore website. Materials are “locked” from being directly added to your shopping bag because most are specialty priced and therefore cannot be purchased outside of the program. You can still purchase your necessary materials online manually. If you do not see the materials, please reach out to the bookstore directly at [email protected] for more information. If the book is currently only offered physically in the Access program, such as novels, lab manuals, workbooks, etc., it is quicker to order them online through the same process:

1. Search your course materials list online using your student ID.
2. Copy the ISBNs of the physical materials.
3. Search for the materials in the toolbar at the top of the webpage using the ISBNs.
4. Add the books to your bag in the condition you desire. You will be able to select new or used and, in most cases, a rental option.
5. Check out using Book Line of Credit (BLOC), credit/debit card, ApplePay or PayPal.

What are the dates I need to be mindful of?

All undergraduate students are automatically enrolled in the All-Access Book Bundle Program when they register for their courses. Students not interested in the program benefits can opt out of the program during specified opt-out periods. Students will be emailed about the option to opt out of the All-Access Book Bundle program at the start of each term.

• Summer 2026 - Portal opens on April 8, 2026 and bills go out on April 20, 2026.
• Fall 2026 - Portal opens on June 1, 2026.

To opt out, check your school email for information and/or visit the Follett Opt Out Portal. For all other questions, contact your Stetson University Store at  [email protected] for information on how to opt out.
