Since used textbooks offer a distinct savings to students, the University of Minnesota Bookstores attempt to buy as many as they can possibly use. Books are purchased throughout the school year, but you can typically get the best price for your books at the end of the term once textbook needs for the next term are known. It is important that you purchase required texts and materials for an IDL course as soon as possible after you enroll. Because texts and materials may be updated or changed, required texts and materials for a course may not be available at a later date. Texts and materials will then be shipped to you by UPS or by first class mail if UPS does not ship to your address.
All online orders have free shipping.
Audiocassettes and Videocassettes. You may purchase required audio- or videocassettes from the East Bank Bookstore. Alternately, you can listen to the audiocassettes or watch most of the videos at the University Learning Resource Centers. The center is located at 153 Norris Hall. Full refunds for texts will be given only if you cancel your enrollment.
