Caution: items listed are subject to change.
Get Your Books
Bring your class schedule or online printout with you to the store. Course materials are in alphabetical order by course abbreviation (example ENGL), then numeric order by course number (example 111) and then alpha by section letter.
Staff in the bookstore is available for assistance.
A week prior to classes starting, "expected arrival date" shelf tags are updated to give the estimated delivery date of the textbook/course material. They may come in earlier so keep checking the shelf. Course materials will appear on the shelf before they appear in stock online.
Textbook rentals: some textbooks are available for rental.
Used Books
Used books are placed above the shelf tag for the course along with the new books. If the book is available in the used book market and the instructor has approved the use of used books in his/her course, we do our best to have these available.
When to Buy
It is recommended that you go to class first to learn exactly what the professor wants you to purchase. However, entry -level 101 courses are fairly standard and the supply of used books available tends to sell out quickly.
Please bring your I.D. or class schedule. You may purchase course materials 2 weeks prior to classes starting.
Professors do change their minds regarding course materials; in order to get a full refund, do not take the plastic wrap off your books until you go to class.
Refunds
A copy of the refund policy will be attached to your sales receipt at the time of purchase. Your sales receipt is required for a refund.
Refunds are made in the manner purchased. New course materials must be unmarked and in original shrink-wrap. Used books have an earlier refund deadline (first week of class) than the new books refund deadline (third week of class).
Sell Your Books Back for Cash
You may sell your used books back during the special buy-back events at the end and beginning of each semester.
