HAWK FLIGHT BOOK RENTAL PROGRAM – The Hawk Flight Book Rental Program is a preferred digital model that allows students to have digital access to all required material (physical books will be used if the digital format is not available for the required material). Students are automatically enrolled into the program each semester; full-time students cost $410 per semester and part-time students cost $200 per semester. Digital access for the Hawk Flight Book Program will be emailed to students before the beginning of the semester and physical books will be available to pick up in the Bookstore at the start of the semester. The deadline to opt-out of the Hawk Flight Book Rental Program for Spring 2023 is January 1, 2023. The opt-out request for the upcoming semester can be completed with the Bookstore Rental Opt-Out link on MyCU. Students who complete the opt-out request, are not eligible to participate in the program until Fall 2023. Students who do not opt-out by the deadline will still be charged for the Hawk Flight Book Rental Program even if digital material is not used or physical books are not picked up. Students will be notified via email about the Fall return deadline for the physical books. Books not returned by the deadline or are returned in a non-reusable condition will result in the non-return fee being applied to student accounts.
