Did you know that FIU will be launching its Panther Bookpack program?

Coming Fall of 2021, FIU, in partnership with Barnes and Noble College, will be launching this program for all undergraduate students.

Under this program, all undergraduates will be charged a $20 per credit hour charge for their required course materials. This should yield an approximate 50% savings to our students on their books each semester.

FIU is the first school in the Florida SUS to launch this program. To learn more, visit bookpack.fiu.edu.
