Undergraduate students can rent the majority of their textbooks each semester. If you are an undergraduate student who is unable to be on campus to rent textbooks, you may use this web form to request textbooks to be shipped to you directly. The average course has one rental, but some select courses may have no rentals or multiple rentals. This is why it is important that we know which section of the course you will be taking.
Please check here to see if your course requires supplemental materials which can be purchased from the bookstore. Be sure to double-check the section for which you have registered when doing this step, as courses may vary by instructor.
