COURSE MATERIALS Shopping for the best price on course materials is easy with Wolfpack Outfitters. Once you have your class schedule, use our Price Comparison Tool to find the best prices on new, used, rental and digital materials, in-store or online. Then compare our prices against national retailers and make purchases in one convenient location. We work tirelessly to source the materials you need at the best possible price by diversifying your options: »» Our rental program saved students almost $400,000 last year by allowing for a significantly lower up-front cost, with your commitment to return the book at the end of the semester. »» More and more courses are using All-In, our new inclusive access program that provides digital course materials for less than the cost of a traditional textbook. Students receive free use of the All-In materials for the first two weeks of class. You can either choose to purchase semester-long access or make alternate arrangements during the two week opt-in period. Ask us to find out if one of your courses is All-In. »» We also offer new and used textbooks at the lowest price possible. Purchase in-store or online at go.ncsu.edu/textbooks.
