Sustainable learning with Seneca’s eTextbook program | MyNews | Seneca Students

As part of Seneca Polytechnic’s commitment to equity, sustainability, and enhancing our virtual environment, many of our courses now offer eTextbooks — high-quality digital resources that are more affordable than hardcopy textbooks and available as soon as you enrol.

If you are enrolled in a program or course that uses eTextbooks, the "Textbooks and Materials" fee will appear in your Student Home account between Tuesday, Aug. 6 and Friday, Sept. 13. This fee will replace the cost of purchasing physical textbooks for your course(s).

Participation in the eTextbook initiative is optional. You will receive an email from Follett bookstore on Sunday, Aug. 25 with instructions on how to opt out. The deadline to opt out is Monday, Sept. 16.

Benefits of eTextbooks:

• Equitable: digital course materials are less expensive than hardcopy textbooks and are compatible with eReader support tools.
• Sustainable: no printing required, reducing your carbon footprint.
• Virtual: access course resources anytime, anywhere, on various digital platforms.

Plus, millions of academic resources, including books, articles, videos, and educational materials, are available 24/7 on the Seneca Libraries website. 

If you have any questions about the fee or eTextbooks, please contact The Service Hub by email, live chat, WhatsApp, SMS or visit on campus.
