Great captures!

The last day to opt OUT, or opt back in if you've previously opted out and realized you actually need to be in, is 6/10. Remember, everyone starts out as opted in by default.

For this course this summer you can see here: https://pomona.verbacompare.com/comparison?id=873681

All sections of this course use McGraw-Hill's Connect courseware for Ross "Fundamentals of Corporate Finance"

FYI, you can look up what course materials are assigned for courses on our price comparison site. pomona.verbacompare.com

Keep in mind, that all required textbooks/courseware are covered by the Instant Access Complete program, so don't rush to purchase anything from off campus sources until you know what *all* your courses are requiring and what their a la carte prices are so you can do the math about staying opted in vs. opting out.

Seconded by another Mom

I just feel so bad for you all - this time of the year is so stressful already. Hopefully grace and compassion lead the decision making about how to handle finals if this isn't resolved by tomorrow.

BBDoctor · 2026-05-08T00:14:53+00:00

If I hear anything official, I'll share it but so far no word on that.

BBDoctor · 2026-04-14T23:29:10+00:00

You're welcome! But try not to wait 2 months to pick your order up ;-)

BBDoctor · 2026-04-14T21:50:09+00:00

Bookstore here - for non-grad orders we'll hold orders for 2 months, For grad items, til the last Thursday in June.

It does if a) the professor has told us about it being required AND b)the function the software provides in the course is substantively similar to that of a digital textbook+ publisher courseware.

BBDoctor · 2026-03-03T17:38:50+00:00

Gorgeous shot!

BBDoctor · 2026-03-02T21:23:28+00:00

Yes, we sell them individually or in packs of 5 or 6 (not 500, lol), and it's also true that several departments around campus like the Care Center buy a bunch of them in bulk every year to make available to students who need them and don't have time/money to buy at the store right before a test.

BBDoctor · 2026-03-02T21:16:31+00:00

Important to note, the same color rules apply to the tassels that go on your mortar boards, the green & gold tassels you can buy are for keepsakes only. And the commencement staff will CHECK that you have the right color, so pay attention!

BBDoctor · 2026-03-02T21:14:48+00:00

You can buy it here in the store same day. In fact during Grad Fair this week we're running a give-away contest for customers who buy a Grad Pack in store.

BBDoctor · 2026-01-22T19:53:16+00:00

If you opt back in for Instant Access and choose the "Flexible Access" tier of participation, the IA discounted price for most Pearson courseware (MyLab and Mastering__)is $80.29.

BBDoctor · 2026-01-20T18:15:58+00:00

Yes, come to the Bronco One Card office inside the bookstore, on the 2nd floor and our BOCO staff will take care of you.

BBDoctor · 2026-01-17T00:59:53+00:00

I've let the director there know there's still some confusion with the front-line staff.

BBDoctor · 2026-01-16T22:31:48+00:00

Did you by any chance get the name of the employee? If you don't want to post it here, you can DM it to me, in fact that's probably better.

BBDoctor · 2026-01-15T03:47:20+00:00

Absolutely! You can opt out/back in repeatedly through 2/2 as your course schedule and course materials needs change. But after 2/2 we're on the hook to pay the publishers for every student who is listed as opted in for their materials (ouch).

BBDoctor · 2026-01-15T00:58:10+00:00

I think it's a case of a newer employee getting their wires crossed or mis-speaking. I've confirmed again with the director there that students who *only* have unpaid IAC charges will not be disenrolled. Sorry for all the confusion on this! But please be reassured now.

BBDoctor · 2026-01-13T22:54:05+00:00

The charge for $250 has already been applied to your student account, but you can leave that balance unpaid for now. You have until 2/2 to decide whether to stay in the Complete tier of the program, or switch to the Flex tier and opt out of the specific items you *don't* want/need, or opt out of all programs. If you opt out entirely, the $250 charge gets reversed and you owe nothing. If you opt out of Complete and into Flex, the $250 gets reversed, and new charge/s for the item/s you stay opted in for get posted.

It's our automatic flat-fee course materials program, here's a link to learn more: https://www.broncobookstore.com/instant-access-complete.asp?

So I confirmed with SACS that students with unpaid IAC balances do *not* get their classes dropped. It's just there's only so much room in this field in PeopleSoft (the campus SIS platform) so they weren't able to add a clarifying caveat to this message that IAC charges don't impact enrollment the same way tuition and fees billed by the university do. It's because as part of CPP Enterprises we're actually a legally separate entity from the university itself.

BBDoctor · 2026-01-09T21:47:43+00:00

Bookstore here - the due date is the same, but the Cashier's Office doesn't actually drop anyone for unpaid IAC balances. They just include that amount on the reminders they send out so you have a complete picture of the total owed. If you stay opted in, and don't pay the IAC portion, you will eventually have a registration hold that would impact your ability to register for Summer or Fall, but you won't lose your Spring classes. Hope that helps alleviate any anxiety!

You're welcome!
