Clarion University of Pennsylvania to Offer Students More Affordable Textbook Options Through New Partnership with eCampus.com Online Bookstores

eCampus.com has been selected to deliver a comprehensive course materials solution to the students of Clarion University. The selection of eCampus.com as the new online bookstore provider was led by the Clarion Students’ Association. The online bookstore solution will supply course materials for both the Clarion campus in Clarion, PA, along with the Venango campus in Oil City, PA. Ranked as one of the most affordable schools in PA for Bachelor’s Degrees and one of the most affordable online colleges in the country, Clarion University will address affordability through eCampus.com’s commitment to saving students up to 70% off publisher list prices. eCampus.com will also offer students a price match guarantee and free shipping to the campus store. In addition to cost savings, students can take advantage of every purchasing option, including new, used, rental, digital content, and an expansive network of third-party marketplace sellers.

“The Clarion Students’ Association, comprised mostly of students, listened to multiple presentations during its search for an online textbook vendor for Clarion University of Pennsylvania,” said Sandra Machokas, Executive Director, Clarion Students’ Association. “The students were looking for a vendor not only qualified to provide their needed resources, but one that was able to do so with a focus on affordability. The affordability offered by the eCampus.com presentation resonated with the students and made the selection of eCampus.com an easy one. Clarion Students’ Association is excited to begin working with eCampus.com to provide an affordable, online solution for our students’ textbook purchases.”

Through the new eCampus.com partnership, Clarion will benefit from a cohesive platform that seamlessly integrates with existing systems, creating a customized ordering process utilizing Single Sign-On (SSO). This technology ensures students have a user-friendly course materials ordering experience with flexible delivery options to campus or their doorstep. For their convenience, students are also offered a variety of payment options, including book vouchers and Eagle Dollars. eCampus.com’s solution will provide students with the textbooks and course materials they need for academic success coupled with superior customer service and 24/7 access.

In addition to the benefits for students, the eCampus.com Online Bookstore will also serve Clarion faculty with a reimagined adoption platform that allows for simplified research and selection of course materials. Faculty can take advantage of customized reporting, research titles, and compare pricing to make informed course material decisions. Robust analytics dashboards provide leadership with a high level of visibility to quickly evaluate key data at both an institutional and departmental level.
