SUNY New Paltz Teams Up with eCampus.com for New Online Bookstore in 2025
SUNY New Paltz Partners with eCampus.com
SUNY New Paltz has officially announced a partnership with eCampus.com, designating the latter as its new official online bookstore, scheduled to launch in the summer of 2025. With this collaboration, SUNY New Paltz joins other State University of New York (SUNY) institutions that have already benefited from eCampus.com's extensive course material solutions.
Located just 90 minutes from New York City, SUNY New Paltz is a vibrant university that offers a broad array of undergraduate programs across various fields, including business, liberal arts, sciences, engineering, and fine arts. The partnership stems from a comprehensive evaluation process, which underscored eCampus.com's commitment to enhancing the overall educational experience for both students and faculty alike.
The primary goal of introducing this online bookstore is to afford students seamless access to a wide range of course materials—ranging from new and used textbooks to digital content. The personalized online storefront will integrate directly with SUNY New Paltz's Student Information System, thus simplifying the ordering experience. Students will benefit greatly from Single Sign-On (SSO) functionality, which streamlines the logistics of ordering textbooks and materials.
Exceptional Student Benefits
One of the standout features of this new partnership entails exceptional customer service and a diverse selection of affordable options for course materials. eCampus.com will ensure that students have access to a variety of resources through an extensive Marketplace, where they can find textbooks and course materials from third-party vendors at reduced prices.
Additionally, eCampus.com offers a price match guarantee, making sure that students receive the best deals possible on their course materials. Students can also reach out for support through various channels, including email, chat, or phone. For added convenience, eCampus.com will provide free shipment to the SUNY New Paltz Gear Shop, where students can easily collect their ordered materials in person.
Faculty Support and Course Material Management
The partnership with eCampus.com will equally facilitate faculty members' roles by granting them access to the FAST adoption platform. This platform streamlines the selection and procurement of course materials from a database of over 10 million titles, enabling educators to make informed choices regardless of publishing house or format. Furthermore, faculty will gain insightful data through features such as price comparisons and a student readiness dashboard, allowing real-time insights into purchasing behaviors—an invaluable asset for effective classroom management.
eCampus.com is also dedicated to providing a specialized account management team that will assist faculty with training and resources to ensure a smooth transition to the new online system. Enhanced analytics capabilities will lend visibility to key data, aiding decision-making at both institutional and departmental levels.
Excited Leadership and Forward Vision
Steven Deutsch, Executive Director of Campus Auxiliary Services, expressed enthusiasm over the new collaboration. He stated, “We’ve decided to partner with eCampus and University Gear Shop to provide the campus with the most cutting-edge providers of textbooks and spirit wear available in the marketplace.” This sentiment reflects a collective commitment at SUNY New Paltz to enriching the student experience effectively.
