Box of Books: More Affordable, Convenient Delivery of Course Materials

With a busy, budget-conscious student body in mind, Onondaga Community College wanted to reduce the cost of course materials – and make it easier to get them before the first day of class.

The college collaborated with Barnes & Noble College to bring inclusive access to campus, bundling course materials costs with tuition and fees. Students saved an average of 30% in the first semester, and more than 75% were prepared by the start of classes.
