Kish Store

Kishwaukee College is dedicated to making sure course textbooks and materials are affordable for students. Campus-wide efforts include individual faculty, academic departments, the Office of Instruction, the Kish Store, and the Library. It can be a lot of information, and we want to help explain.

You may get an email about your course being in the Inclusive Access Program, meaning that the cost of your course materials for this course is charged at the time of registration directly to your student account. The cost of the digital materials (e-book/courseware/etc.) is lower when delivered this way, creating savings for students. You may opt out of this program. However, we recommend you speak to your instructor first as opting out may mean that you must purchase both a book/e-book AND access to the courseware separately and from a third party to be successful in the course. Please visit our Price Comparison Tool to see if your course is affected. Students impacted by an IA course will be emailed a week prior to courses with access information. Access to the materials will be available on the first day of class through your Brightspace course shell.

If your course has an OER course material, the digital resource will be available for free. The print materials are generally available to rent or buy for a lower cost as well. Please see the Price Comparison Tool for details.

Some books are available to rent. Please see the Price Comparison Tool for details.
