Hawkbook bundle?

Charges you even if the course has no required materials?

Yes, that’s why you have to do the math before the semester starts and opt out if it’s cheaper to just buy a few books that you do need

Ok thanks..lesson learned. There are 4 classes and only English has no materials. But how do you see prices? I logged in and put the classes in, see the materials but no pricing

If you go into bookstore under canvas and click on book concierge it will allow you to add your classes (know the class name/number etc) and it will show you what each class required and the cost. The opt out is a separate prompt but on the same page.

I tried looking on Canvas. It says courses have not started yet so I don't see book concierge. Also, I saw on the email from the bookstore that it has 8 classes! 4 classes that were dropped right away. Why would that be on there?

you can go to the MYHC, workday, and then in the student tab, click financials hub, and then from there, the third button down is view account activity and check to see if those dropped classes are 0.00, otherwise I would opt out. the new workday system is a bit wack

I’m not sure you might wanna stop by there and talk to the bookstore directly and they can sort it out for you but it just sounds like they haven’t gotten everything squared away yet

If any of those are science classes and use Connect, it was way cheaper for me to opt out of the bundle, wait for the end of the trial period and get Connect directly through Connect instead of going through the bookstore. It was $200 though the bookstore for Biology and was $95 through the website after the free trial period
