Course Materials
Follett ACCESS is a partnership between Pfeiffer and the Pfeiffer Campus Store that allows you to rent or purchase textbooks at a reduced cost. The charge is posted directly to your Pfeiffer tuition or as an additional fee on your bill and can be paid along with your University charges or using financial aid.
The Follett ACCESS Textbook Program is available to both traditional undergraduate and degree completion students. It is currently not available for graduate students. It is also not available to undergraduate students in off-campus study, including students studying abroad, participating in an off-campus internship or using one of our partner programs (such as Acadeum).

This allows every enrolled student access to all required materials on day one. Once you have selected your courses, your course list will be sent to Pfeiffer University Campus Store. The campus store gets everything ready for you. All you need to do is pick up your required course materials at the campus store located in the Stokes Student Center starting the first day of class.
Students can verify the format of their materials on the Pfeiffer Campus Store Apparel, Merchandise, & Gifts (bkstr.com). If the text says New, Used, or Rental, the book will be physical; if the text says Digital, the book will be accessible in Blackboard.
