Emmit's Book Pack

emmits-book-pack

Mount St. Mary's University is proud to partner with Barnes and Noble College and the First Day® Complete Program, known to Mount students as Emmit's Book Pack.

Emmit's Book Pack gives you access to all of your course materials, no need to shop around! Beginning with the Fall 2022 semester, you'll be able to:

  • Bundle the cost of materials such as textbooks and lab manuals into your tuition and fees at a flat rate.
  • Receive all your course materials before the first day of class.
  • Save 35-50% on the cost of course materials each term.
  • Benefit from a highly personalized concierge service.

How it Works

  1. Register for Classes - Upon registering for courses, you will be automatically enrolled into the program. Once you've successfully selected your courses, the bookstore will start preparing your order.
  2. Verify Your Order - Starting 30 days before the first day of classes, you will receive an email to verify your order and select your fulfillment preference.
  3. Receive Your Textbooks - An email notification will be sent when your order is ready for pickup or when it ships. Your digital materials will be delivered for your course(s) within your school's LMS.

What happens if I do not return the books by the due date?

In the event a student does not return rental materials, Barnes & Noble College reserves the right to require student payment of an appropriate rental replacement fee (75% of the new course material selling price) and/or identify the student ineligible for the Complete Program in future semesters.

When are my textbook rentals due back to the bookstore?

The deadline to return all rental textbooks is the last day of finals. Students will receive email reminders about the rental deadline to their email address.
