Effective Summer 2026, eCampus.com will support Saint Francis University as its official online course materials provider, enhancing access to affordable academic resources for students.
eCampus.com and Saint Francis University are pleased to announce a new partnership, effective Summer 2026, that will make eCampus.com the university’s official online bookstore provider. This partnership aims to provide Saint Francis students with a more accessible, cost-effective, and convenient way to obtain textbooks, digital materials, and other required academic resources. Based in Loretto, Pennsylvania, Saint Francis University is a private Catholic institution serving 1,962 students and offering more than 60 undergraduate, graduate, and professional studies programs. Saint Francis University selected eCampus.com for its proven expertise, focus on affordability, and ability to deliver a modern online bookstore experience tailored to the needs of its student community.
As Saint Francis University’s official online bookstore, eCampus.com will provide students convenient access to all required course materials through a customized online storefront with single sign-on (SSO) access for easy ordering. This integration creates a streamlined, user-friendly experience by automatically displaying required materials based on each student’s course schedule. Students will also benefit from free shipping to campus and a 15-day return period after the start of classes, providing added flexibility and support during the beginning of each academic term.
Students will be able to choose from a broad range of affordable course material options, including new, used, rental, and digital formats to accommodate varying budgets and preferences. To further enhance savings, eCampus.com provides access to its Marketplace, where third-party sellers offer significantly discounted textbooks and course materials. With eCampus.com’s price match guarantee, students can feel confident they are receiving competitive pricing on all required materials.
Faculty at Saint Francis University will be supported by eCampus.com’s comprehensive course material adoption tools, which offer up-to-date information on pricing, availability, and student purchasing activity. These resources enable faculty to thoughtfully evaluate and select materials that balance instructional needs with affordability. The simplified adoption workflow helps ensure timely and efficient course material selection each term, while providing access to a diverse range of options, including rental and marketplace offerings, with ongoing support from a dedicated account management team.
“Saint Francis University is committed to ensuring our students have affordable and convenient access to the course materials they need to support their academic success,” said Walt Kalista, Associate Vice President of Procurement & Auxiliary Services. “After careful consideration, we selected eCampus.com as our partner because of their ability to expand options, reduce costs, and provide greater flexibility in how students access required materials. This transition reflects our ongoing commitment to enhancing the student experience while delivering a more modern, efficient solution for both students and faculty.”
