Textbook Central

In store purchases:

Textbooks are arranged alphabetically by course listed on the shelf tag below the book. Multiple sections of the same course may be taught, each using different texts, so bring a copy of your course schedule to ensure you choose the correct corresponding book(s).

The shelf tag lists the number of required texts for a course as well as any optional books. Shelf tags are color-coded as follows:

  • Orange - Undergraduate Day Program
  • Green - GOAL Program
  • Pink - Graduate Program
  • Yellow - Graduate School of Business
  • Blue - Divinity School
  • Purple - Doctorate of Education Program

Associates are available to assist with finding texts and answering questions. We make every effort to accommodate students with special needs or just call us in advance to reserve your books.


If you need a book, even if you don't need it until later in the term, buy it at the beginning of the semester. We start returning overstock 4 weeks after classes start in order to meet publisher return policy deadlines.
