Campus Bookstore: Slingshot!
Most importantly, Carthage’s partnership with Slingshot allows Carthage students to get their textbooks and other materials for their Carthage classes for a predictable price.
The Equitable Access Program allows all full-time Carthage undergraduate students to pay a flat fee of $182 per semester to receive all required textbooks and course materials. All students — new and returning — will pick up their materials at the Clausen Center when they arrive on campus as part of check-in.
Carthage’s new Equitable Access Program is open to all full-time undergraduate students regardless of major, format of materials, or financial aid status.
All of your course materials — at an affordable price!
Slingshot student portal Slingshot Online Store
Equitable Access is like a Netflix subscription: Students receive all their materials for one low, predictable fee — regardless of financial aid status, academic program, learning format, or how much is required. These materials will be provided in the lowest cost format as a mix of physical and digital items, or students can choose a print upgrade option to secure only physical materials for a small additional fee.
What’s included?
The Slingshot Equitable Access Program provides students with all the course materials they need including: scrubs/PPE, art supplies, scientific calculators, coursepacks, and text books.
How do I enroll?
Full-time undergraduates are automatically enrolled in the Equitable Access Program. All students — new and returning — will pick up their materials at the Clausen Center when they arrive on campus as part of check-in. If you would like to opt out of the Equitable Access Program, you may do so on your Workday dashboard during the enrollment period each semester. Students will be notified when they can adjust their preferences via email notifications and The Bridge.
The Equitable Access Program is not available to graduate students or part-time undergraduate students. However, you can still purchase your course materials through Slingshot al-a-cart using your Slingshot dashboard, which is accessible on your OneLogin homepage.
Regardless of your enrollment status in the Equitable Access Program, you’ll have the opportunity to review course materials for the upcoming term 90 days before the term begins. Below are the dates when materials will become available on your dashboard based on your registration:
