Important Dates
Fall and Summer requests are due in March. Winter and Spring requests are due in early November. The early adoption of course materials gives us the ability to source textbooks at the best prices and pass those savings along to our students!
Current Trends and Options
- E-books have come a long way! The Campus Store works closely with Vital Source, e-book platform providers, to offer hundreds of e-book titles to Cortland students. The e-reader platform is becoming a more interactive experience. Students today are becoming more accustomed to using e-books. Feel free to check out our list of available titles at vitalsource.com.
- Cengage Unlimited: Subscription model, where students pay one price for access to all of Cengage Learning's digital titles & resources. Students may also elect to purchase printed material for a small nominal fee. Subscription prices start at $73.67 for 1 semester.
- Rent or Digital Only: Pearson and McGraw Hill Publishers are distributing new editions as rent (hardback and/or paperbacks) as rent or digital version only. Loose leaf version maybe available at a higher price.
- OER: Open Educational Resources: Free educational material, usually presented in a digital or online format. The Campus Store is able to produce printed version of SUNY OER and OpenStax material for a small fee to the students as an option.
- Inclusive Access/Day One Access:
- Drastically reduces the price of textbooks and course material.
- Faculty/department commit to require digital content of course material. Students may additionally elect to purchase printed material for a nominal fee.

- Students opt-in through their Blackboard account, gaining instant access to the material.
- The store charges the students’ SUNY Cortland accounts through the Student Accounts office, within the first few weeks of classes.
As the Campus Store receives and reviews the course material requests we or a publisher representative will reach out to faculty/and or department, if we feel a course and material is a candidate for Inclusive Access.
