The bookstore staff cannot look up your student ID number. • Pay attention to dates. Students with sufficient financial aid may not charge books and materials until three weeks prior to the start of the semester. • Don’t wait to purchase your books on the first day of class. Not only is the first day extremely busy, but most (if not all) used books will have been sold. Make your purchases early for the best prices and selection. • Buy used, and rent whenever possible. This is the most affordable way to purchase books, and you won’t have to rely upon the book “buy-back” to recoup your costs. Instead, get your savings upfront. • Buy online. You can order ahead by visiting shopsandburg.com and have your books shipped directly to your home, or you may pick them up in the bookstore. • View required course materials. Required books and supplies for each class can be found under the class search and through the Follett Bookstore website: shopsandburg.com.
