Take the guesswork out of purchasing learning materials! Sonoma State University is proud to offer the Seawolf Bundle, a learning material delivery program that provides access to your required learning materials in a convenient package before the first day of class. We are committed to keeping this program affordable for students, as such, we've maintained the same price per credit hour since the program began in Fall 2023. Undergraduate and graduate students will have the ability to bundle the cost of learning materials into their tuition. Students are automatically enrolled in the Bundle, but may confirm and/or change their participation in the program 30 days before the beginning of term through the last add/drop date on the B&N Adoption website. Please note that the link will only work during that time.
Learning materials are the content or information conveyed within a course and these include the textbooks, readers, multimedia components, and other resources in a course. This is primarily a rental program. Students can choose to purchase the textbook or learning material for a nominal additional fee.
The Seawolf Bundle program will cost a low, flat fee of $18.50 per credit hour. The Seawolf Bundle will cost $277.50 per semester for 15 credit hours. For the traditional model, financial aid factors $497 per semester for learning materials. The Seawolf Bundle provides equitable access to learning materials for students.
