UIndy's Ace-It Book Bundle Program

Exciting news, Greyhounds! The University of Indianapolis is moving to a new course material delivery program that provides access to your required course materials before the first day of class. The program is called “Ace-It Book Bundle.”

With this program, the bookstore will provide you with a convenient package for physical course materials, and your digital course materials will be delivered directly in Brightspace. We’re excited to help you “Ace-It” and bundle your books today!

Ace-It Book Bundle will:

• Simplify the student experience.
• Lower the cost of materials.
• Ensure students have access to all required course materials on or before the first day of class.
• Provide access to digital materials directly through Brightspace.

Below you will find additional information regarding the Ace-It Book Bundle program. Please check this page often, as further information becomes available or if details may change.

How It Works

• Register for classes. (Congrats - this step is likely already complete for you!)
• One month before classes start, you will receive an email instructing you to review your courses and choose how to receive your materials. The bookstore will start preparing your course materials in a convenient package (Note: This email will come from our bookstore partner, Barnes & Noble College,  not from UIndy directly.)
• You will receive an email notification when your order is ready for pickup at the bookstore or when it ships, depending on your selection. Your digital materials will be delivered within Brightspace.
• When your courses are over, the bookstore will send you helpful reminder emails to return your rental course materials.

While it is NOT recommended, students have the option to opt out of the program, but this means you will not receive access to your required course materials in a convenient package at a discounted rate. Instead, you will be responsible for purchasing your course materials through individual bookstore purchases or through other vendors. UIndy's opt-out window will begin July 28 and end on August 29. More information regarding the opt-out window will be available soon. 

FAQs

• Can I opt out of the program?
  While it is NOT recommended, students can opt out of this program. The opt-out window begins on July 28 and ends on August 29. Opting out means you will not receive access to your required course materials in a convenient package at a discounted rate. More opt-out information will be available for students closer to the window timeline. 
• When are my textbook rentals due back to the bookstore?
  The deadline to return all rental textbooks is the last day of finals. Students will receive email reminders about the rental deadline.

  Yes, you will still be required to return continuation course textbooks. You will be issued the same title for the next semester of the continuation course.
• What if I drop a class?
  You may return the book to the bookstore on the same terms and timelines currently in place. If you drop a class and enroll in a different class, the bookstore will “swap” the required textbooks/codes so that you have what you need.
