Materials are provided at a flat rate of $25 per credit hour, which is charged directly to your student account. Please note that this is not an extra administrative fee like an activity or technology fee; it is the direct cost of the required course materials needed for your academic success. To help balance this cost and reduce the overall expense of your academic pathway, the College has completely eliminated the majority of traditional, individual course fees.

Most degree-seeking students are automatically opted in to ensure immediate ‘Day One’ access to course materials when the term begins. Please note that Continuing Education and Dual Enrollment students are not automatically enrolled in this program.

Yes. If you determine it is more economical to purchase your materials independently, you have the right to opt out. However, you must keep the following critical rules and policies in mind:

• It is “All or Nothing”: The choice to opt out applies to the entire term, not an individual course. If you opt out of the program for one class, you are automatically opted out of your required materials for all other classes you are taking that semester.

• Per-Term Requirement: Because enrollment is automatic, you must actively log your choice to stay opted in or out fresh every single term (Summer, Fall, and Spring).

• Flexible Window: You can opt in and out of the program as many times as you want to review your account balance before your deadlines lock.

The College will refund 100% of the BibliU fee if the student opts out by the BibliU deadline given. In accordance with institutional policy, the deadline to opt out for a refund on your materials fee is the official term census date. Because summer schedules vary, this exact deadline differs depending on whether you are taking a 10-week, 8-week, or 4-week course. Please consult your instructor or check the official academic calendar on the Academic Resources Web Page to verify the census date for your specific class sessions. 

You must click the active BibliU link located within your course navigation menu inside the LMS to change your status. Simply purchasing your books from an external website will not remove the flat-rate fee from your Mitchell CC student billing statement.

No. This new digital textbook billing partnership does not apply to Early College and Career and College Promise (CCP) students. Because high school dual-enrollment pathways operate under separate institutional funding and specialized textbook procurement agreements, those materials will continue to be handled through existing high school structures.

The vendor-managed bookstore will officially begin operations on June 22, 2026. To prepare for this launch, our physical campus storefront will be closed for transition from June 15 to June 18, 2026, during which time no purchases can be processed. We look forward to reopening our physical storefront and launching our new online store on June 22. Outside of this transition window, the physical store will continue to carry Mitchell Community College apparel, school supplies, and merchandise.
