"The eCampus.com Virtual Bookstores' reputation for customer support and providing electronic resources will be an advantage to our students." - Tim Borchers, Vice President for Academic Affairs, Peru State College
LEXINGTON, Ky. (PRWEB) April 24, 2019
Peru State is launching the innovative eCampus.com Virtual Bookstore solution to support an optimized student ordering experience, including reduced cost, improved access to digital course materials, and superior support. With the new eCampus.com partnership, students will save up to 70% off publisher list prices, propelling student success through improved textbook affordability. 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.
The eCampus.com online shopping platform will afford students a free ship-to-campus option where course materials are conveniently delivered to a centralized campus location. Combatting the frustrations of delayed digital content access, eCampus.com offers the added benefit of digitized access codes to eliminate the need to ship physical codes, bolstering confidence that students will have access to the right course materials at the right time. 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.
eCampus.com, who is taking over bookstore operations from Akademos, will offer a seamless integration with Peru State’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, offering streamlined course material ordering at the same time they register for classes. Students will also have the flexibility of using financial aid for their course material purchases.
In addition to student benefits, the eCampus.com Virtual Bookstore will also serve Peru State faculty with a smooth adoption process, including securing desk copies to review best-fit content from a network of over 10,000 publishers.
“Peru State College is pleased to partner with eCampus.com Virtual Bookstores to provide course materials to our students,” said Tim Borchers, Vice President for Academic Affairs for Peru State College. “Their reputation for customer support and providing electronic resources will be an advantage to our students."
“eCampus.com is excited to bring over 17 years of experience in the Virtual Bookstore model to Peru State College,” says Matt Montgomery, President and CEO of eCampus.com. “Our focus has always been on providing the most cost-effective and user-friendly experience to both students and faculty and we look forward to helping Peru State achieve the same goal.”
Peru State students will have full access to their eCampus.com Virtual Bookstore in Fall 2019. More information on eCampus.com Virtual Bookstores can be found at ecampuscms.com.
