The rising cost of textbooks is an issue that all institutions of higher learning try to address. At UIW, we know it is difficult for some students to afford a textbook on top of their tuition payments. Our newest initiative for the Extended Academic Programs is to defray these costs by providing the textbooks for you. When you enroll for an undergraduate class in the ADCaP or Universe Online programs we will include the added benefit of textbooks. This means no out-of-pocket expenses for books*. The free textbook program applies only to students in the undergraduate programs in ADCaP and Universe Online.

 

How does it work?

After your registration is approved by your academic counselor (usually within 24 hours), and entered into our student system, each student is sent an email through their Cardinal Mail account. This email will show:

• The course you are registered for and its location,
• the title of the book,
• a web address to download the book or instructions to get it at the UIW Bookstore, and
• an access code.

NOTE: There will be only one code, per book, per class. Classes that have more than one text book will require we send an email for each book used in the class.

 

To get your books

Go to www.uiwonline.net/extendedstudies and follow the directions to log into the portal.

What if my course does not have an e-book?

Some courses do not yet have e-books available, so the book will be made available at the UIW Bookstore. If a student wants to go to the UIW bookstore to get their free book they must show a valid driver’s license and proof of registration by taking the email that contains the book title and special access code.

If you want to order your book and have it shipped to you, forward the email sent to you that shows the title and code for the book to 0236mgr@fheg.follett.com. Be sure to include your shipping address when sending the email. Books will be shipped by ground transport.

 

*Can I get my book printed?

Printing of text books will be the students and facultys responsibility. No student and faculty will be permitted to print their e-books at any ADCaP learning center. We have made arrangements with the UIW Print Shop for the e-books to be printed by them if a student or faculty member desire. The cost is 4 cents per page and it will be hole-punched for a 3-ring binder. See your academic counselor or learning center staff for information on using this benefit.

THERE ARE DEADLNES FOR PRINTING. CHECK THE SCHEDULE OF CLASSES FOR DATES.

The free book program is subject to all copyright laws. The distribution of e-books without authorization will result in severe disciplinary actions. Click here to see a brief explanation of these laws.
