1Grantham University's Resource Fee covers the cost of all materials required to complete coursework. Grantham provides new or gently used textbooks or e-books as well as all required materials outlined in the course syllabus. Standard shipping fees* for textbooks and other course materials are included in the fee; however, students may select to pay for premium shipping. Students are still responsible for selecting their course materials to be shipped from the University Bookstore after they have registered for their classes, but will not be charged at checkout.
While the resource fee is nonrefundable, students may elect to opt out of the textbooks and/or ebooks that are provided for each course. Students electing to opt out will receive a credit of $50 per course on their student account, and will be responsible for securing the required course materials on their own.
