Bay College Bookstore prepares for the start of the fall semester.

ESCANABA — As Bay College students prepare for the start of another academic year, the Bay College Bookstore team is ready to support student success with a range of course material affordability options, including used books, text rental, digital content and price match.

As part of Follett’s network of more than 1,200 campus stores and 1,600 virtual stores, Bay College Bookstore offers the largest inventory of used books in the industry as well as Follett’s ever-growing text rental program. Students renting through the campus store can enjoy risk-free rental policies while saving up to 80 percent compared to purchasing new.

For students interested in exploring digital options, Bay College Bookstore offers a range of digital learning technologies including Follett’s BryteWave digital textbook reader and study tool. Many digital titles provide anytime, anywhere access as well as varying discounts compared to purchasing new print materials.

“Our goal is to ensure each student has affordable access to their needed materials,” said Jenny Allard, Bay College Bookstore manager.

Under the bookstore’s price match program, if students find course materials they purchased at the campus store advertised at a lower price from a qualifying competitor, they are eligible to receive the difference in price from the campus store.
