Order Books & Materials Online

Book and course materials operations are now a fulfillment center for online orders in the former bookstore spaces. The fulfillment centers are not open for general shopping.  If you cannot use the online ordering or need to return a book, email the campus book store for instructions.

All books and course materials must be ordered online for free direct ship to home.

You will need your class schedule to find your books. The first number of the section number determines which campus houses your books and materials.

• 2=Online
• 3=Wildwood
• 4=Forest Park
• 5=Florissant Valley
• 6=Meramec
• SO=South County.

Ordering online saves you time and travel across multiple campuses to find and purchase all of your books

All campus stores are open Monday-Friday, 9 a.m. - 2 p.m.

The campus stores at Forest Park, Florissant Valley and Meramec are now located in the former cafeteria spaces on each campus.

The online book fulfillment centers will have staff from 8 a.m. - 4 p.m. M-Th and 8 a.m. - 2 p.m. on Friday to answer student emailed ordering questions and provide instruction on where to process refunds.

Campus stores will also be closed if the college is closed for inclement weather or emergency.

• Course Materials for fall are available to order now.

• Most orders are filled and shipped within 3-5 business days. The fulifllment centers are experiencing a high volume the first two weeks of classes. We ask for your patience as we process orders and troubleshoot.

• Orders will be shipped direct to your address via UPS.

• Order early! Orders placed in peak times (around the start of each semester) may be subject to delay.

• Book information will be "read-only" until two weeks prior to the start of each semester.

Save Money by Renting

Some books are available to rent instead of purchasing.

• To rent, you will need a credit card to use as collateral.
• Rentals that are not returned by the due date will be subject to fees.
• Book waivers will also need a credit card for collateral.
• Your card will not be charged unless the book is not returned by the due date.

Returning Rented Books

• Fall semester rented books need to be returned to a bookstore by Dec. 20, 2021.
• You may drop rented books in any campus library book drop.
• Books are checked in by the bookstore after they are picked up from the library.
• Do not return books you have purchased!
• If you want to sell books you've purchased, you will need to use the Online Book Buyback service provided by Nebraska Book Company.
• Placing a slip of paper with your name and phone number inside your dropped books is a good idea. Rental bar codes are attached to the renter information, but purchased books do not have any bar code connection to the owner. If you drop books to sell, you may not get them back.
