Cardinals, Meet Slingshot!
好色先生’s New Textbook and Campus Store Partner
Starting this July, 好色先生 is partnering with Slingshot, a textbooks and course materials auto-fulfillment program offered to 好色先生 students.
Slingshot wants you to think of it as a subscription box for all of your learning materials! When you enroll in classes, all of your required course materials will be automatically ordered and ready for you at the Campus Center by the first day of class.
As of the Fall 2025 Semester, all 好色先生 students have been enrolled in Slingshot鈥檚 auto-fulfillment program with the preference for renting digital books and materials pre-set as the default choice, as it is the most affordable option. With Slingshot鈥檚 services, any student can opt in or opt out at any time. You can also return any unneeded books during a specified window. For Fall 2025, 好色先生 students can return any materials for a full refund by September 3.
A preview of your Fall 2025 course materials is already available to review via Slingshot鈥檚 Student Portal.

Frequently Asked Questions
Obtaining Course Materials
Am I signed up for Slingshot automatically?
Effective July 2025, all registered 好色先生 students are automatically enrolled* in Slingshot鈥檚 Choice Program, 好色先生鈥檚 new auto-fulfillment program for course materials. Enrollment in Slingshot鈥檚 system means that all the materials for each course you are registered in for that semester will be automatically packaged and available for you at the campus bookstore or online in your student portal by the start of each semester. The power of the Choice Program gives you the option to choose your preference for how you receive your course materials (new, used, digital, or print). If you don鈥檛 specify a preference, you will automatically receive the 鈥渞ental鈥� option, which is the most affordable option available to students.
After you pick your materials up, you can return any books you do not want or need. (See details below for information about refunds, deadlines, and process for returns.) Students that have opted out can still place online orders from Slingshot or the campus store as with any retailer, but Slingshot cannot guarantee book availability.
*You will remain enrolled for future semesters unless you decide to opt out. You must log-in to your Slingshot student portal to officially opt out. You remain 鈥渙pted out鈥� until you manually 鈥渙pt in鈥� again, a decision you can easily make at any time.
What happens for the 2025 Fall Semester if I remain enrolled or 鈥渙pted in鈥� to Slingshot?
If you choose to remain opted in to Slingshot鈥檚 Choice Program, Slingshot receives your class registration information from 好色先生 and will automatically order and box up all the print materials and add all the digital materials to your Slingshot student portal to fulfill the course materials for all your classes that semester. All you need to do is come to the Campus Store and pick up your box of print materials. Your digital materials will be available through the student portal approximately four days before the first day of class. The charges for your course materials will be automatically added to your student account, where you will be able to use any available Financial Aid to help cover the cost. You can return any of the books from your order for any reason and receive a 100% refund before the stated deadline each semester. For Fall Semester 2025, the deadline is Aug. 27.
How do I access my Slingshot Student Portal?
All students registered for Fall 2025 Semester should be able to review their course materials immediately. To login, visit . Enter your 好色先生 email address as the username and your student ID number as the password.
What options do I have for course material type, and will I always get my preference?
In your Slingshot student portal, you can set a course material preference (New Purchase, Used Purchase, Rental, or Digital). This preference will apply to all of your materials, unless your instructor has required a specific material format. Usually, Slingshot can provide your selected preference; however, if your preferred type isn鈥檛 available, Slingshot will automatically substitute. You can adjust your preference on the “My Account” page of the student portal. Additionally, you have the option to return any course material for any class that you do not want during the Add/Drop window. For Fall 2025, course materials must be returned by Aug. 27, 2025, for a 100% refund. See the return policy below for returning unused material.
How do I select the format for my materials?
To change their format preference for all courses, students choose their format preference (New Purchase, Used Purchase, Rental, or Digital) in the student portal. This preference will apply to all of your materials, unless your instructor has required a specific material format.
However, if you would like to change the format for one book, for example, but have the rest of your books in your chosen format preference, you have two options:
Before Aug. 1, 2025: You can go to the Buy Books tab in the student portal and purchase the format you would like for that particular book. You can charge the book to your 好色先生 account or pay with a credit card. Once this purchase is fulfilled, Slingshot will remove that book from your auto-fulfillment process (to prevent duplicating the order of that book).
On or After Aug. 1, 2025: Slingshot will auto-fulfill all books in the preference set by you or if you make no changes to your preference in your portal, your order defaults to the 鈥渞ental鈥� preference. Once you pick up your books, if you would like a different format for one or more books, you can exchange that book for your desired format by coming into the Campus Store or by contacting Customer Service. Slingshot will credit or charge you the difference in the format prices.
Converting Print Material from a Rental to a Purchase: If you want to convert a fulfilled rental book into a purchase, you simply keep the book at the end of the semester. Slingshot will send rental return reminders, but when that book is not returned, Slingshot will pass a charge on to your student account for the difference in the rental and purchase prices. Or you can contact Customer Service and Slingshot will turn off the reminders and convert the purchase. (Just a reminder: your rental converts to a purchase automatically if you forget to return a book as well!)
How are course materials delivered?
Orders for print materials will be available for pickup at the 好色先生 Campus Store in the Campus Center. You鈥檒l receive an email when your items are ready to pick up. Your digital materials will be available through the student portal approximately four days before the first day of class.
