2. Click the textbook tab at the top of the page.

5. Click "continue to get course materials" under the box.

6. You will now see displayed all the classes in your chosen departments.  Paying close attention to your schedule, pick out your sections. PLEASE NOTE THAT ON SOME LARGE, MULTISECTIONED COURSES, SECTIONS MAY BE COMBINED AND NOT NECESSARILY BE IN ORDER.

The next section is somewhat confusing, but important. It is not unusual for instructors to change books or for changes to be made to instructors by departments in the middle of our reservation season.  If a book is dropped from a course between the time you place your order until it is packed, our system will automatically drop the book from your order.  You MUST pick from the drop down menu one of the choices- "do not add", "add all materials" or "add required only"  AND check the box underneath
