Craven has partnered with BibliU to provide students with digital textbooks that are easier to access, cost effective, and seamlessly integrated into course materials. The BibliU fee is included with regular tuition and course fees, which helps reduce overall costs to students and the need for physical textbooks.
BibliU operates a bookstore at the New Bern campus, where students may purchase textbooks, supplies, and other items. The Havelock campus students can purchase textbooks, supplies, and other items online or by visiting the New Bern campus.
Textbooks for some courses are on reserve in the library for limited use.
Digital Course Material
The College has established a digital course fee with BibliU to reduce book/supply costs for certain courses. Although this saves money, students have the option to opt out of purchasing digital course material. The option to opt out is accessible in Moodle. Students can access the BibliU reader through Moodle. A link can be found in the banner at the top of the page. This will take students to a page to review a summary of your requirements and finalize opt out. Opting out encompasses the entire term and will opt the student out of all courses.
Students who opt out of the program will still pay the fees during registration, but receive a refund by way of the refund preference selected in Bank Mobile; however, refunds will not be issued until after the 10% mark of the course. Students who opt out will also lose access to the course material and competitive pricing, and will need to purchase the required course material on their own. Students should consult with their instructor before deciding to opt out.
