Important: Charger Book Pass & Charger Food Pass
The spring semester is just around the corner, and we have important Charger Book Pass and Charger Food Pass information, along with important dates and deadlines to share with you.
Charger Book Pass Program
This spring, Cypress College is providing all your required textbook-related course materials (eBooks, textbooks, and access codes) as part of the Charger Book Pass for no more than $100. This spring 2025 program provides an easy, cost-effective, single-price option for reducing textbook costs for students.
If you’re registered for one or more classes at Cypress College, you automatically have the Charger Book Pass! If for some reason you decide you’d prefer not to use the Charger Book Pass or it simply does not make financial sense for your class situation, opt out of the program by Tuesday, February 18. More information, helpful videos, and answers to frequently asked questions are available on the Charger Book Pass page.
Mark your calendar: Opt out by February 18
Already know the Charger Book Pass just isn’t for you? Watch the “How to Opt Out” video, then access the Opt-Out Portal to opt out of the program.
If you opt out by the February 18 deadline, you will not be charged for the program.
Helpful videos and frequently asked questions are available on the Charger Book Pass page.
Charger Food Pass Program
This spring semester, Cypress College is offering a free Charger Food Pass, which provides all spring-enrolled students with $12 to purchase meals, drinks, and snacks at the Charger Cafe Monday-Friday during the semester (excluding holidays when campus is closed).
Pick up Your FREE New Student ID to Use the Charger Food Pass
Cypress College is rolling out a new and improved student ID card. You MUST have this new ID card to use the Charger Food Pass, to check in at the L/LRC, and to take advantage of other important campus services. ID cards received prior to January 2025 will no longer work.
To receive your FREE new student ID card, visit the Admissions & Records Photo ID Booth during normal business hours. Please bring your old student ID, a photo ID, or your spring schedule/bill.
