Starting fall 2024, University of Miami students can benefit from the 'Canes Course Pack, which will provide students with all course materials they need on the first day of class.
The 'Canes Course Pack provides students with access to their required course materials at the start of each semester.
The 'Canes Course Pack allows the University to reduce student course material costs compared to traditional print text, and ensures every student can access their course materials on or before the first day of class.
This program allows students to focus on their education instead of researching, sourcing, and purchasing their course materials out-of-pocket.
Undergraduate students taking between 1 and 20 credits are automatically enrolled in the 'Canes Course Pack when they register for their courses. This enrollment will provide students with all required materials for class for one low, flat fee. Course materials will be provided to the student in a digital format, or a physical format when digital is not available. Print materials do not need to be returned at the end of the semester.
The total cost of the program is $402 per semester for the 2024-2025 Academic Calendar, reflected on the student’s account as two separate charges: Course Materials Fee - $375.70 and Course Materials Tax - $26.30. The program fee covers any number of credits taken between 1 and 20, regardless of the specific number of credits enrolled. Your calculated tuition and fees can be accessed on CaneLink.
Course material fees are automatically charged to a student's bill available in CaneLink. All undergraduate students enrolled in one or more courses at the University of Miami are automatically opted in the 'Canes Course Pack. Students who do not wish to participate in the program can opt-out during the scheduled opt-out period each semester. Students who opt-out are opting out of receiving required materials for all courses and must source and purchase their materials independently. Additional opt-out instructions can be found below as well as in the FAQs. Note: After completing the Opt-Out process, you can expect to see the credit reflected on your account between 48-72 business hours. Please check CaneLink for your student account detail.
If the student has a physical product, they should reach out to the store to return the product and let the store know they want to opt-out. Store can opt that student out at that time.

All undergraduate students taking between 1 and 20 credits are automatically enrolled in 'Canes Course Pack once they register for their classes. Students will receive multiple emails to their .edu account with information on the program, how to access their materials, and how to opt-out if desired. Students who would like to review their option to opt out of 'Canes Course Pack can visit the FAQ titled, "Is the 'Canes Course Pack required, or can I opt-out?"
'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 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 Blackboard.

While all 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. All materials will be available at the campus bookstore, where you can pick from different formats and pricing options. There is no penalty for opting out and students will be refunded their program charge. Students must opt-out by the opt-out deadline each semester. 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. For any inquiries regarding material access, please email: canescoursepack@follett.com
If you already opted out and the opt-out period has not ended, you can opt back in during that period of time. Please log back in to the customer portal and choose "Opt-In."
When you opt-out it only applies to the current semester. It will not roll over, so you will need to opt-out every semester.
Once you have selected your courses, you will be provided a digital bookshelf. E-books and courseware will be delivered to you through Blackboard. Physical materials may be picked up at the University of Miami Campus Store – 2nd floor. For any inquiries regarding material access, please email: canescoursepack@follett.com
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 emailed to your school email account or provisioned directly into Blackboard. 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.
