Select a Campus Here is where you select to view books for Online classes or Residential. If you are taking online classes, you will select Spring 2016 Online. If you are taking residential, then you will select Spring 2016. Students taking both online and residential classes will need to select all their books for the online classes and then repeat the process of adding books to their cart for residential, or viceversa.
Select a Department Now, you will select the department for the course you are looking for. To do this, you will need to reference your student schedule. In our example, we will begin with Microeconomics, so we will select ECO for the Department in the Online bookstore.
Select Course Number Now it s time to select a course number. Again, reference your schedule for this. You see that the course number comes right after the Department Code, so for our example, we see that the Course number is 213.
Select a Section Next you ll see that you have to select a section. Once again, for this information, we will reference the schedule. The course section is the very last number on that top line of the schedule, so in this example, it is OL1A.
Select Your Courses Now that we have input all the information, a class should appear. If everything seems to match what you have on your student schedule, click the class to select it. Once you have done that, you can either click continue or add another course, if you are taking more than one class, you need to repeat the process until all courses are selected.
Select Your Course Items Once you click continue, you will be taken to select the books for your classes. As you can see for the first class, Microeconomics, there is only 1 book that is required. You can also see that there is only 1 option available for the condition, so you will select Buy New.
Select Your Course Items Cont. Now that we ve selected the book for the first course, scroll down to view the textbooks required in the next course, Developmental Psychology. As you can see, this looks a little different. Like before, you have the one required item and you will select the condition listed for that. Beneath that, however, you see choice. This is an optional item for this particular class, so you may choose to purchase it if you would like, but it is not required.
