Augustana College selects eCampus.com as the school’s official online bookstore, launching in the spring of 2026.
In the spring of 2026, Augustana College and eCampus.com eCampus.com will begin an official online bookstore partnership to provide students with both affordable and convenient access to course materials through a customized online storefront. Augustana College, located in Rock Island, Ill., is a private liberal arts institution offering more than 100 majors and areas of study. With Augustana’s commitment to academic excellence and student support, selecting an online bookstore solution that ensures accessible course materials was a priority for the institution.
As the official online bookstore for Augustana College, eCampus.com will offer students an easy-to-use online storefront that connects directly to their specific course schedules using single sign-on. eCampus.com is committed to affordability and guarantees the best possible prices through its price match guarantee. Course materials will be available in multiple formats, including new, used, rental, digital, and eCampus.com Marketplace, allowing students to choose what fits their learning style and budget.
Marcus Anderson, Augustana College’s bookstore manager, is excited for the new partnership with eCampus.com.
"The potential of making educational materials more accessible and affordable for Augustana’s students with the new online platform is huge," said Anderson. "The fact that in this partnership we can provide opportunity for students to have format flexibility, cost savings, and a greater buyback process makes me proud to be a part of its introduction. We want to support academic success, and I believe we are in partnering with eCampus.com."
Through the Marketplace, students can browse course materials offered by trusted third-party vendors that frequently provide lower-cost options. This added flexibility allows students to compare prices and choose the most affordable version of the materials they need. Additionally, free shipping to campus is provided, with returns accepted up to 15 days after classes start, making it easy for students to receive their course materials without added stress.
The partnership also provides benefits to Augustana faculty. Through single sign-on, professors will have access to eCampus.com’s textbook research tools and streamlined course material adoption process. They can review options with real-time pricing and availability. This can help faculty make informed selections that support student success while keeping costs manageable. The faculty will also have a dedicated account management support team to assist with any questions or concerns.
