Yes. In order to make sure every student has all of their required course materials Madonna has decided that the default option for students is opted-in. These materials are already included in the cost of your tuition - no other fees! Any student can opt out, but we can’t guarantee availability of books at the Spirit Store for students who have opted out.  If you choose to opt out, you will need to complete the opt-out form available in MY Portal under Student Tab > Eforms > Opt Out > Automated Course Materials.

Students living on campus will have their initial package delivered to their campus residence. Any books that arrive after that initial delivery can be picked up in the Spirit Store. Students that live off campus will pick up all physical course materials in the Spirit Store or can select a shipping preference of “Mail” to receive items at their home address for an additional shipping fee.. Digital items will be accessible on the Slingshot portal under “My Course Materials”. Email notifications will be sent when items are ready for pick-up and when digital items are available to access.

This full-service course material subscription service is included in your tuition! No other fees will appear on your student account, and you will receive all of your required course materials for your upcoming semester.

If you decide to make any additional purchases, those will be clearly marked, and you’ll need to provide payment information at the time of checkout.

If you drop a course, please return your physical course materials to the Campus Store, or reach out to Customer Support for return authorization at the time you drop the course. The student account will be billed for the full purchase price for any materials not returned upon drop. Digital books are automatically returned for you. Billed items can still be returned for 14 days after the bill date.

Items will be accessible under the “My Course Materials” tab upon logging into the madonna.slingshotedu.com portal.
