UIndy's Ace-It Book Bundle Program

The University of Indianapolis utilizes a course material delivery program for undergraduate students, providing access to required course materials before the first day of class. The program is called “Ace-It Book Bundle.”

How It Works

  • Register for classes. 
  • 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.

If you choose to opt out of the Ace-It Book Bundle program, you will be responsible for purchasing your course materials through individual bookstore purchases or through other vendors.
