Blazer Book Link – Course Materials Program

The Blazer Book Link Program take the hassle out of getting course materials by providing students with convenient access to their required materials for the lowest price available. Your campus has an opt out model and includes both digital and physical materials. 

Follett, our campus store provider, works on behalf of the campus to negotiate required material prices with publishers down to the lowest possible price. Follett then works with the campus store to ensure all required digital materials appear in the student’s Moodle and all required physical materials are prepared for pickup by the first day of class, as applicable.  

All students are automatically enrolled in the program, and students who are not interested in the material savings can opt out of the program each term with no penalty. Students who opt out of the program are responsible for finding and purchasing their own required materials. 

Faculty will be notified at the point of adoptions and students will be notified at the point of course registration. Additionally, all participating students and faculty will receive communications to their school email address providing them with all necessary program information including deadlines, fees, and how to opt out/opt in as available. Be on the lookout for the following emails with the following subject lines:

• Kortext | Your New Materials from… | Faculty
• Important Information Regarding your Course Materials for the Upcoming Term | Faculty & Students
• Welcome to Blazer Book Link | Students
• Your Order is Ready for Pick-Up | Students with physical materials

• Faculty can begin teaching on day one of classes as all students are prepared with their correct materials.
• Required course materials are available digitally in the student’s Moodle by day one of class, with no waiting in line with heavy books.
• Easy access and management of digital course materials in the student’s Moodle.
• Reduced student stress related to finding and purchasing the correct course materials in time for the start of classes.
• Digital platforms offer key features such as: highlighting, flash cards & note-sharing, leading to greater success in the course.
• Up to 60% lower than equivalent pricing for required course materials.

Yes! Students can save up to 60% off the original price thanks to the campus store’s relationships with publishing partners and bulk purchasing power. The program also reduces student stress during the purchasing process and provides a method to easily access, manage and use all course materials regardless of format or cost.

Once the student registers for their courses, the student is automatically enrolled in Blazer Book Link and the campus store will get all their required materials for that course ready for them! Students will receive confirmation emails to their school account sharing details to access their digital materials in the Moodle, as applicable. If the student has physical materials, the campus store will communicate with them when they can pick up these materials, as applicable.

Students will find this information in the emails, as applicable:

• Important Information Regarding your Course Materials for the Upcoming Term | Faculty & Students
• Your Order is Ready for Pick-Up | Students with physical materials

Depending on the classes and the course materials required, students may receive a combination of digital course materials, physical textbooks, printed lab manuals or workbooks. Please note, nursing software and suggested materials are not included in the program.

Only required digital and/or physical materials for courses are included. For suggested, recommended, or other course materials, you can order these materials online or visit the campus store where textbook experts will be happy to assist you.

• Required: it is necessary for the course.
• Recommended: the instructor has suggested an item that may be helpful.

Only materials identified by the faculty as “required” are included in the program. All “recommended” materials may be available for purchase separately at the campus store.

No. Faculty still retain full academic freedom and can choose the materials used in their courses.

If a student adds or drops a course, that information is automatically transmitted to the campus store.

• Added courses: Within 24 hours of adding a course, students will receive an email at their school email address with details to access their digital materials directly in Moodle. If the course requires physical materials, students will receive an email to their school email address letting them know when the new print materials are ready for pick-up.
  
• Dropped courses: For courses dropped prior to the last day to drop/add/opt-out/opt-in deadline, access to electronic or digital materials will be automatically disabled. If the course requires physical materials, they must be returned to the campus store unless otherwise stated.

Opt-out deadline for Fall 2025:  September 9^th, 2025

All students are automatically enrolled in the program once they register for their courses. Students may choose to opt out and remove themselves from the program before the opt-out deadline each term for a full refund. If a student opts out, they are then responsible for finding/purchasing their required materials independently. Students must take action to opt-out of the program each term. There is no penalty for opting out.

If the opt-out/opt-in period has not ended, students can opt back in/out by going to the opt-out portal and choosing “opt-in”/“opt-out”. They can login to the opt-out portal by clicking the opt-out link, which is also sent to their student email address.

For a demonstration of how to opt out, watch this video.

Required physical materials can be kept by the student at the end of each term and do not have to be returned. Digital materials can be accessed for a minimum of 180 days and may be available for a longer period of time based on the material adopted and the publisher’s terms.

Students participating in the program will have their required digital materials available directly in Moodle. Students will receive emails from no-reply@kortext.com with instructions and details on accessing their materials. For any technical issues and additional support, students can email support-us@kortext.com.
