The Laker Book Bundle
College is Challenging.
Getting your course materials shouldn’t be.
That’s why ²Ø¾«¸ó created the Laker Book Bundle, a program designed to make sure every student has access to the textbooks and materials they need—on time and at a significantly reduced cost.
With the Laker Book Bundle, you’ll never have to worry about hunting down books, comparing prices, or falling behind because you couldn’t afford the materials. We’ve got you covered.
Here’s why it matters:
- All required materials delivered before classes start
- 35-50% discounted rate—no surprises
- Less stress, more focus on learning
You’re here to succeed. We’re here to make sure you have everything you need to do just that.
How it works
Register for classes

- Your bundle will include all required textbooks, lab manuals, access codes and digital textbook versions. It does not include one-time-use items like lab goggles, dissection kits, or nursing kits).
- A charge of $22.50 per credit hour (2025-26) or $23.75 per credit hour (2026-27) will be added to your account; you can pay this charge the same way you pay your tuition and other fees.
