What is Course Materials Connection?

Course Materials Connection (CMC) is our equitable access program, developed in partnership with BibliU, to provide students with a low‑cost option for their course materials. Many universities offer similar equitable access models and incorporate the program cost directly into tuition, allowing them to market “no‑cost course materials.” Our university has chosen a different approach. We do not embed the cost into tuition; instead, we are transparent about the associated fees and provide students with the option to opt out of the program if they choose not to participate.

How it works

With the Course Materials Connection Program, ordering materials for students is streamlined and efficient. 

  • About one month before classes begin, students can place their orders through the BibliU online Campus Store and select their delivery preference for any printed items—either in‑store pickup or direct shipment to their home.  (Students pay for shipping)
  • They will receive an email notification when their order is ready for pickup or when it has shipped. Any digital materials will automatically be available through the links provided in their LMS courses.
  • Most course materials will be digital; however, some courses include printed items that must be mailed or picked up at the Campus Store.
  • The fees for CMC are $30.00 per credit hour or $90.00 for each three-credit course they are enrolled in.  Participation is by term/semester.
  • If a student chooses not to participate in the program, they must access the BibliU Course Materials link within their LMS course and opt out.
  • Specific Instructions for accessing digital materials with registration links are in the Start Here module of each course.  

Pricing

The pricing structure for the Course Materials Connection (CMC) Program with BibliU will remain the same. The cost is $30.00 per credit hour, which equals $90.00 for each 3‑credit courses you are enrolled in.  Your student account will be billed after drop/add ends for the term.

Participation is determined each semester/term, and the CMC fee covers all courses you are registered for during that period.

Opting In / Opting Out

Participation in the Course Materials Connection (CMC) program is voluntary. All students are initially opted in, but you may choose to opt out any time before the drop/add period ends for the term.

With our transition to the new Campus Store provider, there is an important update to the Opt‑In/Opt‑Out process:

If you are enrolled in both 16‑week and 8‑week courses for 2026FA1, and you choose to opt out for the 16‑week term, you will be automatically opted out of your 8‑week course(s) in that same term.

Students enrolled in the 8‑week terms (2026FA1 and 2026FA2) will have the ability to opt out for both 2026FA1 and 2026FA2.

Students will opt out / opt back in through the settings in the BibliU Course Materials Link.  This link is in all the LMS Courses.

Creating a BibliU Account

If it is the student’s first time placing a CMC or Opt out order with BibliU, they will need to create an account.

They should use their Saint Leo email address to create the account.

They go to the bookstore website and click on the Person icon at the top right of the page / create an account

Accessing the Campus Store

Both Opted in and Opted out students will visit our Campus Store website at:

Course Materials Connection FAQ

The Course Materials Connection (CMC) program provides students with streamlined, affordable access to their required course materials through our Campus Store partner, BibliU. This FAQ is designed to help students understand how the program works and contains answers to common questions. 

 

Yes. You can opt out if you prefer not to use digital materials. The opt-out deadline will be shared with you in a welcome email from BibliU and will appear on your courses platform. If you opt out by the deadline, your access will be removed, and the charge will be reversed.

You can opt out using the link provided in the BibliU welcome email, through a link in your courses platform, or by going directly to the BibliU app. Please find detailed information here.

Yes, you can opt back in any time before the deadline using the same methods: the opt-out link, the LMS, or by emailing support@bibliu.com.

Yes, every semester you can choose to opt in or out for that term only. For example:

  • If you are taking a Fall 1 class, you will see an opt-out banner in your library until the drop/add deadline for that class.
  • If you are also taking a Fall 2 class, the banner will show up again before Fall 2 starts, so you can decide for that class too.

Your choice for Fall 1 does not carry over to Fall 2.
So, if you opted in or opted out for Fall 1, you will still need to make a separate choice for Fall 2. Note: this applies to Spring and Summer terms as well.
 

Yes. All students enrolled in a participating course are automatically granted access and billed unless they opt out by the deadline, even if they do not use the materials.

No. Refunds are only available if you opt out before the deadline. These policies are in place due to agreements with publishers and distribution partners.

If you drop the course before the opt-out deadline, you will not be billed by the school for CMC items within that course. Drops made after the deadline may still incur a charge.

Yes. Email support@bibliu.com to request an extension on your materials.

Check with the campus store to see if a printed version of the textbook is available to purchase or rent. Be sure to opt out of the CMC materials to avoid being charged for the digital version
