Southern Virginia Launches Virtual Bookstore with eCampus.com
Southern Virginia University recently announced the launch of its new online bookstore in partnership with eCampus.com. Available immediately, the virtual store will replace the University’s on-campus bookstore.
The online store is available to students 24/7 and aims to provide improved access to course materials at a reduced cost. Instructions for buying and selling books can be found by visiting the virtual bookstore at svu.ecampus.com.
“We’re looking forward to our partnership with eCampus.com,” said Jeremiah John, Provost at Southern Virginia. “It will make buying and renting textbooks more convenient and affordable for our students.”
The University’s virtual bookstore will complement the University’s LaunchPad Initiative, a technology partnership with Apple that places an iPad Pro, Apple Keyboard and Apple Pencil in the hands of every student and faculty member.
Students will be able to rent and buy new and used books as well as eBooks at up to 70 percent off publisher list prices. They will also benefit from eCampus.com’s best-in-class customer service team, which provides year-round support and facilitates buybacks each semester.
“eCampus.com’s virtual bookstore program is committed to improved textbook affordability,” said eCampus.com President and CEO Matt Montgomery. “We’re are pleased to partner with Southern Virginia University to align with their goals of providing students with an innovative virtual bookstore experience that reduces course material costs, streamlines adoption for faculty, and ultimately drives academic outcomes.”
