Academic Resources
Bearkat Bundle
Now you can get all your books in one bundle! Our new Bearkat Bundle program is an all-encompassing, affordable way to rent all your textbooks, lab manuals, access codes, and electronic books before the first day of class. The average student is estimated to save $150-200 on textbooks for a semester. All undergraduate students will be automatically enrolled.
