Publishers are Providing Lower Cost Options with Digital Formats and Learning Solutions

Rent Digital Program: 60% off New Textbook Prices

The CSU’s Rent Digital program offers students the option to rent digital versions of textbooks (known as “e-textbooks”) at a cost savings of 60 percent or more compared to purchasing the new print textbook. Through CSU’s newly-signed agreements with Cengage Learning, CourseSmart, Follett, and Barnes & Noble, students will have access to thousands of popular e-textbooks at discounted prices.

The digital material will be available to students for the length of the academic term through laptops, desktops, tablets and other devices. It can be accessed online or offline, and includes interactive capabilities such as printing, note-taking and highlighting.
