Ordering Textbooks
Ahead on the bookstore website you will notice some changes. This marks an exciting time for UIU, Upper Iowa University selected Follett Higher Education Group to manage its bookstore operations beginning with our Term number five. This marks an exciting time for UIU, and ensures our bookstore operation will remain best-in-class across collegiate retail.
You can expect the following from Follett:
A Bookstore of Choices: Follett has a central focus on accessibility and affordability, offering a wide array of choices to ensure our UIU store is the premiere retail source for classroom materials that will be available in the right quantities before classes begin. As the leader across the industry, Follett feels strongly that delivering options to students, driving access to products and services that have added value in and out of the classroom.
New, Used, Printed or Digital: In a time where the costs of higher education are on the rise, you'll have access to new programs that help students save.
- Rent-A-Text: With this transition, Follett brings Rent-A-Text to UIU. Today, it is the largest rental program in the marketplace, and has saved students at Follett bookstores over $90m during this fall alone. Learn more.
- CafeScribe.com: Follett's digital platform, designed to bring the benefits of digital access with the power of social networks, continues rapid growth. More than 14,000 textbook titles are available on this quickly evolving solution, saving students 40-60% over the cost of new, printed books.
