The Bates College Store is excited to roll out a new program for course materials this fall.  We are proud to partner with eCampus, a nationwide leader in the course materials industry. With this new partner, we hope to better the affordability of course materials and expand options for students.  

Highlights:

• Textbooks & Course Materials can be purchased online starting in  August 2025 at the Bates/eCampus website (we will have a kiosk available in-store to assist any students)
• Print books are shipped to campus within 2 business days free of charges, unless they are purchased from third-parties on the eCampus Marketplace.
• eBooks and Digital Coursewares are available immediately upon purchase.
• Buyback at the end of the semester will still be in-person at the store
• Rental returns at the end of the term will still be in-person at the store
• Physical inventory of textbooks will NO LONGER be available at the store in Kalperis Hall.
