Students surveyed by BNC were able to share about their experiences with the Warhawk Bundle. 鈥淚t鈥檚 very convenient for incoming freshmen who don鈥檛 know what books to get,鈥 said one student. Another said, 鈥淧ersonally, it made the stress of starting a new semester and trying to be prepared for new classes and professors so much easier. That was one thing I didn鈥檛 have to worry about at all.鈥澨听
With Warhawk Bundle, instead of purchasing materials a la carte, the cost is included in each student鈥檚 account at the same time tuition is charged. Ahead of each term, students will receive an email from the 不良研究所 bookstore prompting them to select their preferred delivery method. The bookstore prepares materials for each student and notifies them when materials are available for in-store pickup or have shipped. Digital materials are automatically delivered to students within Moodle, the university鈥檚 online course management system.听
The Warhawk Bundle is currently available to all undergraduate students, with the exception of Nursing and Pharmacy students. The program provides all required textbooks, lab manuals, access codes and digital textbook versions to eligible undergraduate students. All eligible undergraduate students are automatically enrolled in the Warhawk Bundle program, but can opt out if they choose.听
