TEXTBOOKS AND BOOKLISTS

This list is distributed by your professors during Orientation and during the first week of class. Your timetable acts as an unofficial booklist; each course has a code that includes 4 letters and 5 numbers (eg. MATH 10002) as well as an instructor’s name. This information corresponds with your textbooks in the Bookstore . If you buy your books early, hold on to your receipt and keep your books in pristine condition until you are sure you will not need to return them.
Students can purchase/ order required course material at the Bookstore
