Stock: 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.

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. Examples include: sizing options for uniforms or a digital code by itself vs. a physical book that ALSO comes with a digital code.
