Canes Course Pack takes the hassle out of getting your required course materials by sourcing and preparing your materials for you upon course registration. This ensures degree-seeking undergraduate students have access to the correct course materials, on or before the first day of class, at the lowest price available. Students will be able to see charges on their tuition and fees bill in Canelink. Digital materials are available directly through Canvas.

Course materials must be required/adopted by faculty for them to be included in the program. 

Please note that some software subscriptions and experiential learning materials may only be purchased directly from the vendor. If you are unsure whether your class materials are included in the Canes Course Pack, please email miami@bkstr.com along with a copy of your syllabus.

While all degree-seeking undergraduate students are automatically enrolled in the program at the point of registration, students not interested in participating can opt-out.

Students who opt out of Canes Course Pack are responsible for finding and purchasing their required course materials on their own.

There is no penalty for opting out and students will receive a credit for the program charge/tax. Students must opt-out by the opt-out deadline each semester. Please confirm that a credit appears on your student account three to five business days after you’ve opted out. It is the student’s responsibility to follow up if the credit is not reflected.

NOTE: If there are no course materials required for your classes, you still need to opt-out.

Please check your school email address for information on how to login to the Customer Portal and review the process and specific deadlines. The email will come from noreply@follett.com; you may need to check spam or junk folders.

Print or digital format is based on the adopted material for the specific course prior to the start of class. As a student, if you have a preferred format (print or digital) for textbooks, you should first check with your professor to see what format has been chosen for the course. If it is a digital version, you can contact the campus store for available print options.

If you add or drop a course, that information is automatically transmitted to the campus store. For added courses, digital materials will be accessible via your Follett My Materials link in Canvas. For dropped courses, digital materials will automatically be disabled from your bookshelf. If you picked up a physical book for the dropped course, you are responsible for returning the book to the campus store.

If that course includes digital material, the length of access is dependent on that specific material. Please contact the campus store for details.

If a student has available financial aid (including grants, scholarships and loans), this fee would be covered, just as any other fee or cost would be covered.

If you withdraw from the University prior to the opt-out deadline for that semester, you will receive a credit on your student bill. The Course Materials Fee is non-refundable after the opt-out deadline.
