Exciting Announcement!
We are excited to announce a new partnership between Ivy Tech and Barnes & Noble. As the official Bookstore partner of Ivy Tech, Barnes and Noble will be able to better provide our students with the books, supplies, clothing and technology they need!
Renovations will take place from June 20 - July 8, during which time all campus stores will be closed.
Students can still make purchases at their campus bookstore through June 18 or 20 (depending on the location). Following the renovations, we will be opening our new bookstores at various campuses through the state on July 8.
Leading up to the renovations, students can also purchase books through the Ivy Tech Barnes and Noble online Bookstore. Please note this means that purchases will no longer be able to be made through the Follett Ivy Tech Online Bookstore located at https://www.bkstr.com/ivytechstore.
If you have questions about this transition or anything else related to the bookstore you can call 1-800-325-3252.
Follett Bookstore
If you want to use financial aid at the Ivy Tech bookstore, you will have to authorize it before purchasing your books. In an effort to minimize financial aid disappointments, please allow 24 hours from the time financial aid is authorized before attempting to use financial aid in the bookstore. This time will allow financial aid funds an opportunity to be loaded onto student accounts in Follett.
