It is the office of Student Financial Services that can approve the grant beyond the dateline. Approval would be in the form of reimbursement of cost and will be granted only if you are covered by the Vocational Rehabilitation service. Please check with Student Financial Services for more information.

You may sell old textbooks that you no longer need to the Bison Shop. The Bison Shop conducts a buyback program at the end of the spring and fall semester each year to buy back used books from students. The Buy-Back Program usually takes place between the last few days of classes and the final day of examination week. The dates will be announced in the middle of the semester, so keep checking with us for the exact dates. Please note that we do not guarantee that all books sold by the students will be bought during the buyback program period.

You will be able to identify which course book you will need when you attend your class or receive the syllabus list from the professors.Your class schedule can be especially helpful since it provides you with the full nine-digit course numbers. The textbooks in the Bison Shop are placed on the shelves by departments, and the courses are arranged in alphabetical order. The textbooks within each of the courses are arranged in numerical order by their nine-digit course numbers. You can verify with your professors as to which books are required or optional for your selected course.

The books are usually available on the shelves as soon as the professors submit the orders. You may not find certain textbooks on the shelves if the professors have not ordered for the books or have provided other alternatives or handouts in the class. Please contact us to get in touch with the Textbook Liaison if you need any further assistance.

Sometimes orders for books are delayed or back-ordered and therefore might not be presently available on the shelves. In such cases, you can track daily book arrivals by keeping an eye out for any special notes posted on that particular course. Alternatively, you can contact us to get in touch with a Textbook Campus Liaison for more information.

Textbook requisitions are now processed through our online portal. If you have not used the system or created an account, please contact us for instructions. Keep in mind that you will need the Department Specific Departmental Account name and password to complete the process. If you teach for several departments, you will have to obtain the Departmental Account information from each department.
