SUNY Broome Bookstore: Buzz Bundle

What’s the Buzz (Bundle) all about?

SUNY Broome Community College is excited to announce the Buzz Bundle, a course material rental program that lowers the cost of materials for students in one convenient package.

The College’s Buzz Bundle program, developed in partnership with Barnes & Noble, will officially launch Dec. 16, and will provide students access to their required course materials on, or before, the first day of the spring semester.

Through this new program, digital materials will be delivered directly within BrightSpace, and physical books will be conveniently packaged and provided to students. A cost of $25 per credit hour will be charged to the student’s tuition bill. Because it is a rental program, the books/materials are provided for the semester and physical materials must be returned at the end of the semester.

Please read the below FAQs, and check the SUNY Broome Buzz Bundle website for information and updates. The College will use multiple channels to share details prior to the launch of the Buzz Bundle program. We are committed to ensuring students are informed and well supported.

What is the cost of the Buzz Bundle?
The Buzz Bundle cost is $25 per credit hour and will be automatically added to the student’s tuition bill via the registration process for each semester.

Can students opt out of the Buzz Bundle program?
Yes, students will be provided information in order to make the decision to opt out of the Buzz Bundle program. For the spring 2025 semester, the opt-out window will run from Dec. 16, 2024 – Feb. 17, 2025.
