HCU BookPass Program
This program offers all students access to their required course materials prior to the start of classes for the same flat rate per credit hour, regardless of major, beginning Fall 2024. This program will simplify and improve how you obtain your required course materials by including them as a student charge for a flat per credit hour fee. However, you may also choose to opt out of the BookPass program and obtain your books yourself directly from the publisher or other booksellers. Textbooks will no longer be available for sale through the HCU Campus Store. Visit our FAQ page for more information.
Through this program, all your required course materials will be automatically assigned for you when you register for your classes. These materials will then be prepared by our textbook vendor, Follett.
Once prepared, the materials will be available on or before the first day of class via:
- Canvas LMS (if digital)
- Pickup at the Lighthouse Lab (2nd Floor Hinton, if local to Houston)
- Shipped to your home
This program allows students to focus on the semester ahead, without having to worry about obtaining the correct materials. HCU BookPass will ensure all students:
- Are prepared with the correct materials on or before the first day of class.
- Do not have to stress about sourcing and purchasing their material.
- Can obtain their required materials at the most affordable price.
- Have control and choice – which is why students can choose to remain in the program or opt-out with no consequences each semester.
How It Works
Students are automatically enrolled in the program when they register for their classes. Then, the required materials can be accessed by students through Canvas LMS if the materials are digital, or picked up on campus if physical materials are needed. Students who are not interested in the program can choose to opt out each semester.
