Getting Your Textbooks Just Got a Whole Lot Easier
Anderson University partners with eCampus to deliver textbooks and accompanying software automatically to undergraduate students. It’s called the Trojan Textbook Program.
Once enrolled in classes, materials are automatically and conveniently accessible to students. In other words, all you need to do is enroll in class–your text materials will be waiting for you.
What is the Trojan Textbook Program?
The Trojan Textbook Program is an Anderson University initiative to make course materials more affordable to its students. Through the program, the cost of textbooks and accompanying class software is included in a student’s tuition.
The Trojan Textbook Program reduces the cost of course materials and makes accessing them more convenient, thereby setting students up for academic success from day one.
Frequently Asked Questions about the Trojan Textbook Program

All traditional and non-traditional undergraduate and ABSN students are included in the program. Consortium, graduate, and high school concurrent students are not included in the Trojan Textbook Program.

You’ll no longer need to order textbooks required for your courses. See below ‘How will I receive my textbooks?’ for information on how and when your textbooks will be provided.
Can I write or highlight in my physical textbook?
Yes. However, please be considerate to the next student who will get the book. A reasonable amount of writing and highlighting is acceptable.
How will I receive my textbooks?
Depending on the course, you may be provided a digital textbook subscription or a physical textbook rental.
Digital Textbook Subscriptions:
Digital textbooks subscriptions will be available in the Canvas course.
Physical Textbook Rentals:
For traditional undergraduate students, required textbooks will be ordered automatically and shipped to AU Outfitters once you enroll in a course.
For non-traditional undergraduate and ABSN students, required textbooks will be ordered automatically and shipped to your home address once you enroll in a course.
Important: Please verify that your mailing address is current in Workday. Books not received due to an incorrect address will be at the expense of the student. For instructions about how to update your mailing address in Workday, click here.
