Husky Book Bundle Program
Through a partnership with the UConn Bookstore, Husky Book Bundle allows students to receive required course materials for all classes for a flat fee, regardless of how much each individual textbook or digital access would cost to rent or purchase separately. The rental fee is $285 per semester. This an opt-out program and all eligible students will automatically be enrolled and charged the rental fee. The opt-out portal opens 30 days prior to the start of the semester and closes on the 10th day of classes. Students are encouraged to delay opting-out until they receive all course syllabi and required materials to then determine if the program is financially beneficial. The charge has an extended due date (11th day of the classes) to accommodate additional time to determine to opt-out or remain in the program.
