Purchase Materials
Adopted course materials that are not part of an IA or EA program are available for purchase from your My Courses page. The bookstore stocks a variety of physical and digital texts, which are shipped from its warehouse or directly from a publisher's warehouse, depending on the item. It also hosts a Marketplace where book sellers and students around the country buy and sell used textbooks at discounted prices.
Clicking on an item will take you to the product detail page.
Select Your Course Material(s)
Items may be listed as required, optional, or grouped.
-
Required: If an instructor marked a text as "Required" that means the text is needed in order for you to master the subject and pass the class.
-
Optional: If an instructor marked a text as "Optional" you are not required to have the text but can order it if you want to enhance your learning.
-
Grouped: Some texts may be grouped, which means you can buy ONE of the options listed. Example: sizing options for uniforms or a digital code by itself vs. a physical book that ALSO comes with a digital code.
Multiple purchase options might be available, including:
-
New (Print with or without courseware access included)
-
Some texts require a one-time-use code to access publisher courseware. If that is required, you must order a new version of the text. No used or rental texts will be listed because they do not come with the code.
-
-
Used (Print)
-
Marketplace: The Marketplace is where students and high volume sellers sell books at discounted prices. You can save an average of 60% off on Marketplace items. Books ship directly from the seller. These are often sold as non-returnable and do not qualify for free shipping.
-
Rental: They have set return dates which are listed. Return reminders are emailed.
-
eBook (Digital): eBooks have a variety of durations from 30 days to lifetime access.
Select the appropriate option(s) and click Add to Cart.
