Lexington, KY

49ͼ Community College has announced the institution's partnership with eCampus.com as the official online bookstore provider. Located in Pinehurst, North Carolina, 49ͼ Community College is one of the first comprehensive community colleges in North Carolina, serving over 4,000 students. As a member of the North Carolina Community College System, 49ͼ offers associate degrees, diplomas, and certificates. Serving as a primary source of higher education in the region, 49ͼ prioritizes student access to high-quality course materials and chose eCampus.com due to the edtech’s years of dedication and experience.


Through this partnership, 49ͼ Community College students will gain access to a range of high quality online bookstore tools and resources. The customized eCampus.com online storefront will allow students to log in through a single sign-on, providing immediate access to professor-selected course materials, saving students the time it takes to search for individual required course materials. eCampus.com prioritizes affordability and accessibility and guarantees students the best prices possible through the online bookstore. With purchase options such as new, used, rental, and digital course materials along with various shipping options, students can make purchases based on their unique needs and budgets. Additionally, students will have exclusive access to the online Marketplace, where course materials can be purchased from third-party vendors, often at reduced rates.


The benefits of this partnership also extend to 49ͼ Community College’s faculty and professors. Using the single sign-on process, professors will use eCampus.com’s advanced research tools and easy-to-use adoption process to select required course materials for their
students. With real-time insight into availability and pricing, professors can utilize the online bookstore’s tools to make selections that best suit their course's unique needs, while keeping student affordability and accessibility in mind.
