As part of Canisius’ partnership with Barnes & Noble College (BNC), the university is introducing a new course material model called Canisius Complete. This program simplifies how students access their course materials, reduces costs and ensures they have everything they need before the first day of class. Canisius Complete will launch in the spring 2026 semester.
What does this mean for faculty?
Faculty will continue to have full flexibility in selecting the materials that best fit their courses, from any publisher and in any format. There are no restrictions. The only requirement is that course material selections are submitted to the bookstore by the adoption deadline, which is November 30, 2025.
What does this mean for students?
Students will no longer have to shop for their course materials a la carte. Instead, they will receive all required materials through the Canisius Complete program. Physical books can be picked up at the bookstore. Digital materials will be delivered directly to their Desire 2 Learn (D2L) account. The cost of materials will be billed directly to the student account.
To make the rollout of Canisius Complete a success, please submit your course material selections by November 30, 2025.
By ensuring students have all their required course materials from day one, they can start the semester prepared, ready to learn and set up to succeed.
