Save Money With The Seahawk Book Bundle
Lamar State College Port Arthur is working hard to save you money! The Seahawk Book Bundle is a textbook rental program that provides students with all required textbooks, manuals and access codes before the first day of class.
Only $14 per credit hour after discount!
What’s even better is this program is only $14 per credit hour after a $10 discount from the college. This is typically far less than purchasing textbooks, manuals and access codes online or in a store.
