Humphreys University Promotes Increased Textbook Affordability with New eCampus.com Virtual Bookstore Partnership

LEXINGTON, Ky., Oct. 1, 2018 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- After a comprehensive search for a partner to meet their textbook needs, Humphreys University selected eCampus.com Virtual Bookstores to help students obtain course materials at a significantly reduced cost, while also providing a streamlined and convenient ordering process. Bypassing the traditional brick and mortar store with eCampus.com's Virtual Bookstore solution will save Humphreys' students up to 70% off publisher list prices, aligning with the university's goal of an efficient and flexible education for academic success. 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 platform will promote Humphreys' commitment to academic excellence by ensuring students are prepared with the right course materials for success. By ordering through their new customized online bookstore, students can confidently secure textbooks and digital content knowing they will receive the correct edition and format for each course. The transition to an online solution will provide a level of convenience for both the Stockton and Modesto campuses that was unmatched with their previous brick and mortar bookstore. Further complementing the solution for students is a best-in-class customer service team who will provide superior year-round support. Faculty also benefit from a powerful online adoption tool that streamlines the entire adoption process.

"eCampus provided the ideal solution for Humphreys University and its students," said Dr. Robert Humphreys, Jr., President of Humphreys University. "With its combination of accessibility, affordability, and functionality, eCampus has helped us ensure that our students have the resources they need to succeed, delivered in a cost-efficient and flexible manner."
