Washington College selects eCampus.com as the school's official online bookstore, launching in the Fall of 2025.
eCampus.com and Washington College are excited to announce the beginning of an official online bookstore partnership, with eCampus.com serving as the primary source for course materials. This collaboration will provide students with an easy, affordable, and convenient way to access textbooks, digital resources, and other essential academic tools. Located in Chestertown, Maryland, Washington College is a private liberal arts college offering over 50 academic programs, including interdisciplinary majors and minors, pre-professional programs, and dual-degree programs with prestigious universities. Washington College previously used Barnes & Noble for their bookstore and will begin using eCampus.com as their online bookstore provider for Fall 2025. eCampus.com was selected due to the company’s extensive experience and commitment to providing affordable, high-quality course materials.
As a leading edtech company in the online bookstore industry, eCampus.com has built a strong reputation for offering accessible options and a user-friendly shopping experience. Through this new partnership, eCampus.com will provide Washington College students with immediate access to their professor selected course materials through a single sign-on process via a customized eCampus.com online storefront, enhancing the academic experience and supporting Washington College’s ongoing efforts to ensure students have the resources they need for success. Upon logging in, students will have the opportunity to purchase their course materials at affordable prices, with a variety of purchasing options including new, used, rental, and digital formats. Students can enjoy a worry-free experience with the option to have their orders shipped directly to the Washington College Campus Store for free with returns accepted up to 15 days after classes begin. As Washington College’s official online bookstore, eCampus.com is dedicated to providing students with a flexible and tailored shopping experience that meets both their academic and financial needs.
As part of the partnership, professors at Washington College will gain access to eCampus.com’s seamlessly integrated textbook adoption system, providing them with an easy and efficient way to select the required materials for their courses each semester. With eCampus.com’s advanced research tools, Washington College professors can now view real-time pricing and availability of course materials, while also considering student purchasing trends. This enables professors to choose educational resources that align with their teaching goals and resonate with students, ensuring both academic relevance and affordability.
"We're excited to partner with eCampus.com as our new official online bookstore, a decision that underlines Washington College's commitment to student success and affordability," said Provost Kiho Kim. "eCampus.com stood out for their user-friendly and cost-effective platform. This partnership means our students will have easy access to course materials—new, used, rental, and digital—all in one seamless experience. Our faculty will also benefit from the integrated adoption system, making it easier to select materials that are academically beneficial as well as budget-friendly. This collaboration will significantly enhance the academic experience for our entire community."
