Miner Book Bundle is a course material delivery model that simplifies the student experience, lowers the cost of materials, and ensures students have access to all of their required course materials on or before the first day of class. Through this innovative program, physical books are conveniently packaged and provided to students on a rental basis, and access to digital material is directly within Canvas. The Miner Book Bundle is offered at a fixed price for undergraduates of $360 per term for full-time students and $168 per term for part-time students. Graduate students will be charged $24 per credit hour enrolled. At the end of the term, students will receive email reminders to return rented physical course materials to the bookstore.
Textbook and Course Material Program
The S&T Store automatically provides all students with their required course materials through the Miner Book Bundle. Beginning July 27, students will receive emails with instructions on completing their course materials selection for the fall 2025 semester. The cost of the program will automatically be added to their semester bill.
Missouri S&T has adopted the Miner Book Bundle, a bundled course materials model to make education costs more predictable, transparent and student-friendly. Instead of selecting and purchasing individual textbooks for each class, full-time students pay a flat rate of $360 per term, part-time students pay $168 per term, and graduate students pay $24 per credit hour for all required materials. This approach aligns with the flat tuition structure, where costs are clear up front, allowing for confident planning and avoiding unexpected expenses.
The bundle saves time and simplifies the process, while also ensuring all course materials are ready on the first day of class, supporting academic success from the start. Although the vast majority of students benefit from the convenience and affordability of this model, an opt-out option is available for those who prefer to purchase materials independently.
The program’s goal is to provide a transparent, affordable, and accessible path to academic success while aligning course material costs with the same principles that guide the tuition model.

If desired, students may choose to opt out of the Miner Book Bundle by 11:59 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 7.
