Process for Course Readers to be printed for students
Course Readers are printed course materials required by faculty for student use. These materials are produced and bound by HWS Print Services and distributed to students through Barnes & Noble Bookstore. For students participating in the HWS Fulfill program, Course Readers are included as a covered course material. Students who opt out of the Fulfill program may purchase Course Readers through Barnes & Noble at a discounted rate.
NOTE: The Bookstore does not acquire copyright permissions so that would be up to faculty to secure, if required.
