University of Findlay Partners with Slingshot to Launch Enhanced Campus Store Experience

Posted On May 6, 2025
The University of Findlay is excited to join forces with Slingshot, as its new campus store provider. Beginning in August 2025, Slingshot will provide a refreshed campus store experience with several new lines of University of Findlay branded merchandise and gifts, as well as a selection of course materials.
Slingshot’s premier course material subscription service, called “Slingshot Choice,” includes options to buy new, buy used, rent, or purchase digital materials. Students can opt in or opt out at any time or return any unneeded books during the first week of the term. If they choose to opt out of Slingshot Choice, they can still buy books a la carte online or at the campus store.
Beginning in August, first-time students will receive all essential course materials when they arrive on campus. Materials will be billed directly to each student’s account, streamlining payments and seamlessly integrating financial aid.
Returning students will have access to their Slingshot accounts beginning July 1, 2025.
Convenience is at the core of Slingshot’s mission. Course materials can be delivered to students’ residence halls, picked-up at the campus store, or shipped directly to their preferred address.
“Partnering with Slingshot is a great move for University of Findlay,” said Darin Fields, Executive Vice President. “Their team is committed to the student experience—making sure cost-effective, efficient ways are available for students to get what they need when they need it.”
Slingshot, headquartered in Marion, Ind., is a privately held company that has offered custom-tailored campus store solutions for over 25 years. A hallmark of the Slingshot approach is the opportunity for students to customize their purchase of course materials. Slingshot’s motto is “every student, every material, by the first day of class, at an unbeatable price.”
