eCampus.com will serve as Ohio Northern University's official online bookstore, delivering affordable and streamlined access to course materials.
Ohio Northern University (ONU) is pleased to announce a new partnership with
eCampus.com, which will become the university’s official online bookstore and primary provider of course materials starting in the summer of 2025. This collaboration enhances the academic experience by providing ONU students with a more streamlined, affordable, and user-friendly way to access textbooks, digital content, and other essential resources.
Located in Ada, Ohio, Ohio Northern University is a top-ranked private university offering over 60 undergraduate and graduate programs across five colleges. By joining forces with eCampus.com, ONU becomes the company’s 31st partner institution in Ohio. The university selected eCampus.com for its deep expertise in course material delivery, dedication to affordability, and proven ability to provide a personalized online shopping experience for students.
As the official online bookstore, eCampus.com will offer ONU students immediate and simplified access to all required course materials through a customized
online storefront. This system integrates directly with ONU’s existing platforms and uses single sign-on (SSO) functionality to provide a hassle-free experience. Students’ course schedules will automatically populate the required materials, eliminating guesswork and saving time. The platform also features customer support through a dedicated help system, ensuring students can access assistance when needed.
Students will have the opportunity to choose from a wide variety of affordable textbook options, including new, used, rental, and digital formats—each designed to accommodate different learning preferences and budgets. Orders will include free shipping to the ONU Gear Shop, and students can return materials up to 15 days after the start of classes. To further support cost savings, eCampus.com will provide access to its exclusive Marketplace, where third-party sellers offer deeply discounted course materials. With the added benefit of a price match guarantee, students can be confident they receive the best possible value for their course materials.
Faculty members at Ohio Northern University will also benefit from the partnership through access to eCampus.com’s advanced course material adoption platform. These tools allow instructors to easily review and select course content based on live pricing, availability, and insights into student purchasing trends. This streamlined system simplifies the adoption process while supporting informed, cost-effective decisions that align with teaching goals. Faculty will also have the flexibility to explore a broad range of resources with full visibility into real-time pricing and availability. Throughout the adoption process, the eCampus.com service center will be available to provide personalized support.
By partnering with eCampus.com, Ohio Northern University reinforces its commitment to student success through accessible, convenient, and affordable academic resources. This initiative reflects ONU’s broader mission to deliver a high-quality, student-centered educational experience while embracing innovative solutions that support students and faculty.
"Ohio Northern University's partnership with eCampus.com is rooted in our commitment to student success. We are directly investing in our students' academic achievement by ensuring textbooks, digital resources, and rentals are easily accessible, and continue to be offered at competitive prices. The eCampus.com catalog also enhances the selection of course materials available for faculty adoption," said Joshua Crawford, Assistant Director of Business Services at Ohio Northern University.
