Most courses use digital materials and textbooks, which will be integrated directly into your Blackboard course. If your course does not require a printed textbook, they are available from the Book Store (additional fee may apply).
We highly recommend the Atlantic Cape BookPass program for all students; however you are permitted to opt-out so long as it is before the established program deadline. More information can be found in the FAQ section below.
