Textbooks
Bluefield University provides textbooks for all degree-seeking students through a course material rental program with eCampus.
Each student is charged per semester and will typically receive all their course materials by the first day of class. If a textbook is not returned within five (5) days of the end of a class, an additional charge of 50% of the list price of the textbook will be added to the student’s account. Students who receive Title IV funds are eligible for a reduction of the fee. If a student applies for this reduction, or “Opt-out”, they will be responsible for acquiring their own textbooks and any digital materials. Bluefield University strongly urges all eligible students to fully participate in this program. For further information, contact Bluefield Central.
