eCampus.com Virtual Bookstores Announces Partnership with Union University to Promote Textbook Affordability for Students
Union University has selected eCampus.com as its online bookstore provider to offer low cost textbook options and substantial savings for students. Union, with its main campus located in Jackson, Tennessee, is nationally recognized for integrating top-tier education and Christian faith.
LEXINGTON, Ky., June 3, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Beginning in Summer 2019, Union students can take advantage of their new eCampus.com Virtual Bookstore, complete with flexible purchasing options to obtain all their course materials at significant cost savings. With a streamlined and convenient ordering process, securing the right course materials is easy through a mobile-friendly 24/7 website that offers superior customer support. With the new eCampus.com solution, students from all three campuses may save up to 70% off publisher list prices, aligning with the university's goal of providing an exceptional Christian education at an affordable price. Beyond cost savings, students can take advantage of every purchasing option, including new, used, rental, eTextbook, and an expansive network of third-party marketplace sellers.
eCampus.com, who is taking over bookstore operations from Lifeway Bookstores, will offer a seamless integration with Union's Student Information System, creating a customized ordering process utilizing Single Sign-On (SSO). With this cohesive strategy, students will also enjoy the convenience of registration integration, enabling automatic viewing of their required course materials at the same time they register for classes. This level of course materials visibility propels student preparedness and ultimately fuels academic success. Students will also have the flexibility of selling back their books online anytime.
Additional benefits reflected in the new partnership include a free ship-to-campus option, where students can take advantage of a convenient centralized location to pick up their course materials. Beyond a user-friendly ordering and delivery process, students will have access to a superior in-house customer service department to help with ordering, delivery, and digital content inquiries.
Committed to exceptional support for all Union stakeholders, the eCampus.com Virtual Bookstore will also serve Union faculty with a smooth adoption process. With a dedicated eCampus.com Management Team, faculty can receive desk copies to review and confirm best-fit content from a network of over 10,000 publisher partners.
"We're pleased to partner with eCampus to provide affordable options to our students when it comes to their textbook needs," said John Netland, Union University Provost. "eCampus has proven itself to be a company that provides exceptional service, and we think our students will be pleased with this partnership in the days and years ahead."

"In our experience, increased access to low-cost textbooks and digital content equates to more students being prepared, resulting in a successful academic environment for all stakeholders."
