Students using a same-content zyBook in a second class may receive a discount of up to 25% off the base price of a zyBook.
Add-ons such as zyLabs or extra material from other subjects are not included in the discounted price.
All the following conditions must be met for a discount:
- The second zyBook must cover the same content as the first zyBook.
Ex: If the student has a past subscription to a Python zyBook for CS 1, they could qualify for a discount on a 2nd Python zyBook such as a CS 2. A past Python zyBooks would not justify a discount on a zyBook of a different subject such as Discrete Math
- The second zyBook must be purchased within one year of the end date of the first zyBook.
- The first and second zyBooks must both be directly paid for at zybooks.com on the same account. We do not offer discounts to students who purchase either the first or second subscription through bookstores/EA or IA programs.
Discounts appear automatically to students when they open the subscribe page on the second zyBook.
Here is an example of what a discounted price looks like.
Instructors: If teaching a two-course sequence and wondering about one price to cover both, note the above approach is already designed for that purpose. The approach elegantly handles: (1) the inevitable cases of some students not taking the second course or enrolling straight into the second course, (2) retakes, and (3) changing either course's zyBook configuration or content.
Students: If you are retaking a class (due to drop, fail, etc.), you might be eligible for our opt-in free retake promotion. Contact support@zybooks.com with questions.
zyBooks are highly-interactive products whose content and platform are much harder and costlier to produce and maintain than traditional textbooks. Our professor-founders emphasize student success and learning, with pricing being made as low as possible but enough to sustain the sophisticated product and the many professionals who contribute to the product.
