Finding a Textbook

Textbook Return Policy

Textbook Sales Tax

In the Lower Level of the Schine Student Center Bookstore, textbooks are arranged on shelves alphabetically by course department (example: AAS, ACC, ADD).

Once you have located the department, the courses are shelved in numerical order (example: AAS 112, AAS 138, AAS 232)

A shelf tag (see sample below) is placed for each course and reads as follows:

The main campus is identified in the upper left hand corner (example: UC means University College, MC means Main Campus). This is followed by:

  • Department (example: BIO=Biology)
  • Semester (example: Fall)
  • Section number (example: SEC:15)
  • Instructor's last name
  • Title and Author

Each course tag will indicate the book status as "REQUIRED" or "RECOMMENDED."
