Follett Access Textbook and Course Materials

Florida State University, in partnership with Bill's Bookstore, is committed to ensuring student success by getting the right books and materials needed to be successful in the hands of our students.

The Follett Access Program automatically gives you access to required textbooks, lab kits, and supplies for participating courses on or before your first day of class.

  • You will be automatically enrolled in the program after registering for a participating course, and it will show up in your Follett Access portal within one business day.
  • Charges will be directly added to your myFSU tuition and fees bill.
  • If you drop a class, the charge will not be removed until after the add/drop period.
  • To opt-out, follow the link in your FSU email or log in to the Follett Access Portal. Additional information on how to opt-out can be found here.
