Textbooks at UIndy
Studies show that students who have their course materials and books before the first day of classes are more likely to excel in that course. That’s why at UIndy, textbook fees are included in tuition for undergraduate students.** Our partnership with Barnes and Noble College frees you from the stress of worrying about extra costs and searching multiple sites for your materials. That way, you can focus on the most important thing: getting the most out of college, so you can get the most out of life.
**Please note that some restrictions may apply for non-returnable materials or supplies. Additional information can be found below.
How It Works
- Students will receive an email one month before classes begin to confirm their course selections. Please note that this email will come from our bookstore partner, Barnes and Noble College, not UIndy.
- Students select their preferred delivery method for physical copies of course materials. Students can either have their materials mailed to their home or they can pick them up on campus. All digital copies of course materials will be sent directly to Brightspace, UIndy’s learning management system.
- Students receive their materials! It’s that simple.
