How It Works

• Automatic Enrollment: All students registered for courses are automatically enrolled in the Panther eBundle Program each semester.
• Easy Access: All required course materials are provided before classes begin—either accessible in Moodle (Adelphi’s Course Management System) or available for pickup at the campus store.
• Cost Transparency: The cost of required course materials is included in a student’s tuition bill, unless they choose to opt out and purchase materials separately.
• Opt-Out Option: Students who prefer to obtain their course materials independently can opt out each semester by the add/drop deadline.

No more worrying about last-minute bookstore runs and surprise textbook costs!

Benefits for Students

Convenient

No more searching or waiting—with the Panther eBundle, all required materials are available by the first day of class. Digital content appears directly in Moodle (Adelphi’s Course Management System), and any physical materials are available for on-campus pickup.

Cost-Saving

Thanks to bulk pricing and university partnerships, Panther eBundle offers cost savings of up to 60 percent compared to traditional textbook purchases.

Success-Ready

With timely access to the correct materials, students are better prepared to engage in coursework and succeed from day one.

Flexible

Participation is automatic, but students may opt out each semester if they prefer to source materials independently.

Simple and Budget-Friendly

Panther eBundle offers one transparent cost of $29 per credit hour—regardless of major or course load—making it easier for students to understand and manage their expenses.

Program Cost

The Panther eBundle Program is priced at $29 per credit hour, and the total cost is added to each student’s tuition bill.

Examples:

• A 3-credit course: $87
• A 15-credit semester: $435

Thanks to university partnerships and bulk pricing, Panther eBundle offers significant cost savings over the traditional purchase of individual course materials.

Opting Out

All students are automatically included in the Panther eBundle Program each semester. However, students who prefer to acquire their own required materials may choose to opt out.

• The opt-out process must be completed by the final add/drop deadline of each semester to avoid being charged. Students can change their minds and opt back in until the same deadline. Check the academic calendar.
• Opting out applies to all courses for a term; it cannot be selected for individual courses.
• If opting out, all physical materials must be returned to the Campus Store or canceled by emailing Adelphi@Bkstr.com. Opt-out is not finalized until all physical items are returned and/or cancelled.
• The program fee ($29 per credit) is typically removed from a student’s bill within 72 business hours, once all documentation is submitted and approved. If not, students should email Adelphi@Bkstr.com before the opt-out deadline to confirm that their opt-out has been completed. Set your BankMobile preference to avoid delays in processing any refunds due to you.

Student Feedback: A Successful Pilot
