William & Mary Partners with eCampus.com to Deliver a More Affordable and Accessible Online Bookstore Experience

New eCampus.com course materials solution will simplify textbook access, expand format options, and support student success.

LEXINGTON, Ky., May 12, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Beginning late Summer 2026, William & Mary students will have access to a new online bookstore experience powered by eCampus.com, a leading course material solutions provider. The new online bookstore solution is designed to make obtaining course materials easier, more affordable, and more convenient.

Through the partnership, eCampus.com will serve as William & Mary's official online bookstore and course materials provider, supporting students with a centralized platform to purchase, rent, and access required and recommended materials in the formats that best meet their needs. The new model will help simplify the course materials process for students while supporting William & Mary's continued focus on affordability, academic excellence, and student success.

"William & Mary is deeply committed to helping students access the resources they need to succeed," said Jackson Mathews, Assistant Vice President of Auxiliary Services. "Through this partnership with eCampus.com, we are creating a more streamlined, flexible, and student-centered course materials experience that expands affordable options and better supports our academic community."

eCampus.com will streamline integrations with William & Mary's ecosystem, creating a frictionless student experience for ordering textbooks based on their class schedule. By matching students with their personalized course materials list, the platform helps reduce confusion, improve ordering accuracy, and provide greater visibility into available purchasing options.

Students will have access to a broad selection of new, used, rental, marketplace, and digital course materials, giving them greater flexibility to choose the format and price point that works best for them. The program will also support key affordability measures, including a price-match guarantee program, robust rental options, and marketplace availability.

For faculty, eCampus.com will provide adoption support and resources designed to simplify the process of selecting and submitting course materials. Faculty maintain academic freedom to select the materials that best support learning while benefiting from an intuitive platform to research available content and support first day readiness.

The online bookstore will be supported by on-campus services that provide added convenience for the William & Mary community, including online order pickup, rental returns, textbook buyback events, and customer support. As part of the broader solution, Rally House will support the campus retail experience with a broad and refreshed collection of emblematic spirit wear, merchandise, pop-up retail opportunities, and event-based engagement at the existing 601 Prince George Street location.

"This partnership with William & Mary reflects our continued commitment to helping institutions deliver course materials in a way that is more affordable, more accessible, and easier for students and faculty to navigate," said Matt Montgomery, President and CEO of eCampus.com. "By combining our technology, service model, and course materials expertise, we are proud to support William & Mary in creating a modern online bookstore experience that puts students first."

The new online bookstore experience will launch for the Summer II academic term, with ongoing enhancements planned to further improve access, service, affordability, and convenience for the William & Mary community.
