If you wish to pick up your books on campus, follow this procedure:

  1. Order your textbooks here for pickup
    After you have placed your order for pickup, you cannot change the order to be shipped to you.

  2. Wait until you receive email notification that your order is ready for pickup. It may take us up to 48 business hours to process your order, based on the volume of orders received. We do not process orders on weekends and holidays.

  3. After you receive notification that your order is ready, choose a day when you want to do the pickup. You can pick up your books from 9 a.m. – 4 p.m. Monday – Friday.

  4. Fill out the student health pre-screening form.

  5. After filling out the pre-screening form, drive to the North entrance to the College.

  11. We will ask for your name, order number, and the make/model/color of your vehicle.

  12. You will remain in your vehicle, and your order will be delivered to your car. We will ask you to open your trunk or cargo area to limit contact, so we can drop off your books in your car.

For safety reasons, we are not able to provide curbside pickup to pedestrians or those using public transportation. You must arrive on campus via the north entrance in a vehicle.
