Faculty FAQs: Panther eBundle Program
Overview
Courseware is a digital platform that provides content and resources to students online including their eBook, testing, quizzes, and homework required for the course.
All courses that currently use courseware will be automatically enrolled in this program for Intersession 2025 and Spring 2025.
Required courseware is supplied at the beginning of each term. The courseware will be accessible on, or before, the first day of class. Students should continue to check their school email (from noreply@follett.com) before the start of each term.
Students will receive confirmation emails sharing details to access digital materials in Moodle.
At the point of registration, the student’s course will be marked as ‘Access’. They will also receive an email notification 30-days prior to class start
There is no change to the current process. Faculty adopt content through the online portal (Discover Adopt) or by contacting the bookstore directly.
The Panther eBundle Program is piloting this term and only includes courses with required courseware*. Further expansion of this program will be determined following the pilot. *excludes Nursing
