Fall Semester 2025

The Luther College Book Shop and our official partner, eCampus are excited to offer affordable textbook options and pricing! This is one avenue to purchase books.

1. Read before ordering:

  • Anticipate your book needs and be mindful of the shipping time. Allowing extra time is a best practice.
  • Order your course materials from luther.ecampus.com. Lab manuals, course readers, goggles, scientific notebooks, calculators, and few other supplies will be available in the Book Shop. All other course materials/textbooks will not be stocked in the store.
  • Orders will be received within 3 business days (excluding Marketplace orders & items out of stock) if ordered before 2 p.m. Central.
  • If ordering from the Marketplace, the arrival time is dependent on the seller. When selecting your book format, Marketplace will be clearly identified. Once in your cart, you will also see Marketplace listed as the Condition.
  • We highly recommend you do not Opt Out of receiving eCampus transaction communications since you will miss important delivery notifications. To Opt back In, go to your eCampus Dashboard, My Account, Edit My Email Preferences, Edit My SMS Preferences.

Terms:

  • Rental: you are paying a rental fee and using the book for the semester. Similar to a library book, the rental needs to be returned at the end of the semester. Some writing and highlighting are acceptable. Like all books, no water damage is allowed. Even if not paying with a credit card, credit card information is required and stored electronically in the case the rental is not returned.
  • Inclusive Access: a grouping of components (digital text, homework, quizzes, etc.) that are a cost savings when bundled together. All are delivered by the first day of class and are found on Katie. There is a course fee that will be automatically charged to the student's account the 2nd week of class. All students are initially Opted In but do have the option to Opt Out. If you decide to Opt Out, you will be responsible to acquire the individual components required for class. To opt out, email iasupport@ecampus.com.
  • Open Educational Resources (OER): free teaching, learning and research materials

Why doesn't the Book Shop carry textbooks? We want you to be successful and to purchase all the course materials needed. The Book Shop, like many small businesses, found itself in a situation in which we could no longer offer competitively priced textbooks. We are proud to have partnered with eCampus!

 

The Book Shop is owned and operated by Luther College and all proceeds stay on campus to support our Luther community.
