- Click "continue to get course materials" under the box.
- You will now see displayed all the classes in your chosen department. Again, paying close attention to your schedule, pick out your sections PLEASE NOTE: On some large, multi-sectioned courses, sections may be combined and not necessarily in order.
- Click on your course and section. You will see all the books for your classes. In red, underneath the books, it will say "required or recommended." You may also see some titles marked "either/or."These are books which may be purchased in different formats, such as a standard textbook or an eBook, or a loose leaf edition. Please pick ONLY ONE format.

Ordering Course Materials
- On each book you wish to order, click on "new" or "used." THIS IS A PREFERENCE ONLY.
- Then click the "Add to Cart" button - be careful as this step is often overlooked.
- Click "shopping cart".
- You will get a section restating your books and preferences. You may change and "update" or "continue checkout."
- The next screen after the "continue checkout" has been selected may be a little confusing. It is not unusual for instructors to change books or for changes to be made 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 following choices: "do not add, " "add all materials." or "add required only" and then check the box underneath for your choice of how to handle materials that are added. Adding materials might cause an increase in the amount your charge card is charged.
