It hurts my wallet just remembering that.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Situations like this discourage students, especially those who pay for classes out of pocket.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To alleviate this issue, Miami Dade College established <\/span><span style=\"color: #3366ff;\"><a style=\"color: #3366ff;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mdc.edu\/sharkpack\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Shark Pack<\/span><\/a><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, a program that enables students to get course material at a reduced price thanks to a partnership with Follett, the College\u2019s partner bookstore..<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Classes that have Shark Pack offer instructional materials, such as textbooks and programs like MyMathLab, for approximately $60 ($20 per credit).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The College implemented the first phase of Shark Pack during the fall of 2022, offering the program for core courses.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It expanded the following semester to include courses, such as Medical Campus classes.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The latest expansion came this summer with the introduction of codeless delivery for select courses on Canvas.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But, Shark Pack is still not available for all classes, and if you are not careful when registering, you might have to pay the regular price for a book.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I learned the hard way.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Last fall, I registered hastily for an eight-week course.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When I checked the classwork for the course, which needed to be completed through the book\u2019s online portal, I realized I didn\u2019t have access to the book. That hadn\u2019t happened to me before.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A message stating that the book needed to be purchased appeared on my screen. I soon realized not all courses offer automatic Shark Pack coverage. Because I didn\u2019t have time to drop the class, I had to pay $85 for the book.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To stop you from the learning the hard way, here are some tips:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #800080;\"><b>Be Aware<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pay attention to the classes you register for.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Conversely, there are courses that offer Shark Pack, but some professors may not require you to purchase the book.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If that\u2019s the case, opt out of Shark Pack Program through your MDConnect portal to avoid being charged $60 for a book you don\u2019t need.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #800080;\"><b>Be Resourceful<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The MDConnect portal has filters to facilitate the process of selecting classes. Click on the \u201cadditional search criteria\u201d option and select \u201cShark Pack\u201d in the dropdown menu to limit your search to courses that are covered by the program.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #800080;\"><b>Look For The Fin<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Search for courses that show a blue shark fin icon; that\u2019s the best indicator that the class you picked offers Shark Pack.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I advise you to take advantage of this tool because it can save you money and headaches.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We all agree that college textbooks are expensive.\u00a0 Not all professors require students to buy books, but many assign homework through online platforms such as Pearson that can only be accessed using textbook codes.
