Eagle Advantage is Wake Tech's textbook program for students. It ensures all required printed textbooks are bundled and ready for pickup or delivery on or before the first day of class and any digital course materials are available in Blackboard on the first day.
Students are automatically enrolled in Eagle Advantage at registration, and their Wake Tech account is charged $24 per credit hour as a Textbook Access Fee. Use the "View Materials / Opt Out-Opt In" button to view the materials provided by Eagle Advantage for your classes.
If you choose to opt out of the program and purchase course materials on your own, you must do so within a specified window each semester. Your opt-out decision covers all courses for that semester.
