This spring, Cypress College is continuing to provide all your required textbook-related course materials (eBooks, textbooks, and access codes) as part of the Charger Book Pass for no more than $100.

This is a one-year pilot program in fall 2023 and spring 2024 to provide an easy, cost-effective, single-price option for reducing textbook costs for our students. No student will pay more than $100 for all of their required textbook-related course materials at the start of the semester. You will not need to purchase any required textbook-related course materials on your own unless you choose to opt out of the program.

Already know the Charger Book Pass just isn't for you? Watch the "How to Opt Out" video, then access the Opt-Out Portal to opt out of the program.

If you opt out by the February 14 deadline, you will not be charged for the program.

If you're registered for one or more spring classes at Cypress College, you're automatically opted in to the program!

Don't feel like the program makes sense for you? Opt out by February 14. More information is available on the Charger Book Pass page.

During this one-year pilot, the college will be off-setting the cost of the Charger Book Pass, making it a flat fee of $100 or $21 per credit if you are taking 4.5 units or less.

All required ebooks, textbooks, and access codes are provided.

Depending on your classes and the course materials your instructor requires, you may receive a combination of: digital course materials, printed textbooks, printed lab manuals, or workbooks.

Print or digital format is determined based on the selected required material for the specific course you are taking. Through the Charger Book Pass, many courses will provide access to digital materials.

Print options may be available for purchase at the Campus Bookstore.

Students with a qualified disability requiring print course materials or other accommodations should contact Disability Support Services (DSS) at (714) 484-7104 for more information.

Please email chargerbookpass@follett.com with any questions.

Please keep an eye on your emails for further information about the Charger Book Pass and other programs, services, and resources the college offers.

We hope you have a great spring semester!

Buen Cypress!
