Knights BookPass

Knights BookPass takes the hassle out of getting your course materials because costs are covered as a per semester fee included in your student bill. This allows every enrolled student access to all required materials on or before the first day of class. Once you have selected your courses, your course list will be sent to the Campus Bookstore. The Campus Bookstore gets everything ready for you. All you need to do is check your school email for how to access your course materials for the term. 

The Mount is participating in Knights Book Pass to save students up to 60% on required course materials! While all students are automatically enrolled, they have the opportunity to opt-out up to 10 days before the start of the semester. Students will receive emails with opt out information to their MSMC email.

Once you register for your courses, the campus store will get everything ready for you. You will receive confirmation emails sharing details to access digital materials in the eClass. If you have physical materials, the campus store will communicate with you when you can pick up these materials.

All students are automatically included in Knights BookPass; however, you may opt-out of the program up until noon, 10 days before the start of each semester. 

Opting out is a decision for the entire semester, inclusive of all classes in all sessions. Students enrolled in ONLY late start classes will communicate to the bookstore the request to opt out within 10 days of class start. 

You will have the option to opt out of Knights BookPass before the start of each term. To opt-out:

There are many benefits to students, including: 

• Up to 60% lower than equivalent pricing for course materials. 
• Deferred student billing direct to student accounts.  
• Course materials available day one with no waiting in line with heavy books.  
• Digital platforms offer key features such as: highlighting, flash cards and note-sharing, leading to greater success in the course.
• Reduced stress related to finding and purchasing the correct course materials.

Most students should see a savings. Students can save up to 60% based on savings at other schools and thanks to the campus store relationships with publishing partners and bulk purchasing power. The program also reduces student stress during the purchasing process and provides a method to easily access, manage and use all course materials regardless of format or cost.

Depending on your classes and the course materials your faculty requires, you may receive a combination of: digital course materials, printed textbooks, printed lab manuals or workbooks.

Required materials are supplied at the beginning of each term. The materials will be accessible on or before the first day of class. Please continue to check your school email (from noreply@follett.com) before the start of each term.

Printed materials are yours to keep at the end of each term. Digital materials can be accessed for a minimum of 180 days and may be available for a longer period of time based on the material adopted and the publisher's terms.

Print or digital format is determined based on the adopted material for the specific course prior to the start of class. As a student, if you have a preferred format (print or digital) for textbooks, you should first check with your faculty member to see what format has been chosen for the course. Print materials must be picked up at the Campus Store.

If it is a digital version, you can contact the Campus Store for available print options.

If you are a student with a qualified disability requiring print versions or other accommodations, please contact Disability Services for more information.

Only materials identified by your professor as “required” are included in Knights BookPass. All “recommended” materials will be available for purchase separately at the Campus Store.

If the opt-out period has not ended, you can go to the opt-out portal and choose “Opt-In”.

You can log in to the opt-out portal by clicking an opt-out link provided by the school or by checking your school email for the link to the opt-out portal.

If you add or drop a course, that information is automatically transmitted to the bookstore.

• Added courses: Within 24 hours of adding a course, you should receive an email with details on how to access your digital materials and materials will be provisioned directly into eClass. For printed materials, you will receive an email to your school email address letting you know when the new print materials are ready for pick-up.
• Dropped courses: For courses dropped prior to the last day to drop/add/opt-out, access to electronic or digital materials will be automatically disabled. All printed materials must be returned to the campus bookstore within a week of the add/drop deadline.

If that course includes printed material, that material is yours to keep. If that course includes digital material, the length of access is dependent on those specific materials. Please contact the Campus Store at CampusStore@msmc.edu for details.
