The Husky Book Bundle program is a course material model that ensures undergraduate students have all their materials across all courses prior to the first day of class and reduces the cost of materials. Instead of purchasing materials a la carte, all full-time undergraduate students will receive their required course materials for a rental fee of $285 per semester, added to their University Fee Bill.

The bookstore will provide each student with a convenient package for physical books and digital materials will be delivered directly to HuskyCT.

The Husky Book Bundle program makes getting textbooks easier on students, which will ultimately improve their success. Not only will students receive their textbooks by the first day of class, but they will save an average of 35%-50%.

Faculty contribute to the success of the program by submitting course materials selections into the bookstore by the adoption deadline for each semester: on or before April 1st for the fall semester; and on or before October 1st for the spring semester; and on or before February 15th for the summer semester.

The program provides all required textbooks, lab manuals, access codes and digital course materials to eligible students in the delivery format (physical or digital) selected by faculty.

The program does not include consumables that cannot be returned and reused such as lab goggles, dissection kits, molecular model kits, engineering kits or nursing kits.

Eligible students who elect to opt-out of the program will be responsible for purchasing their course materials independently through the bookstore.

Approximately one month before classes start, students will receive an email instructing them to select their fulfillment preference (in-store pickup or shipped directly). An email notification will be sent when the students order is ready for pickup or when it ships, and digital materials will be delivered for course(s) within HuskyCT.

No, there are no restrictions in the course materials you select for your course. All course materials, from any publisher, in your preferred format are included in the program.
