The Campus Store encourages students to purchase textbooks early. If your class schedule has been finalized, you may purchase your books for the semester before classes begin. Books go on sale in early January for the Spring semester and in early August for the Fall.
Textbooks are the additional costs of being a student.
Profits are transferred semi-annually to the UMD general fund. Used books have been purchased from students here at UMass Dartmouth or through used book wholesalers. Textbooks for classes are selected by faculty and not by the Campus Store. Occasionally, the Store may run out of a particular book or it may not have arrived before the start of class. Shortages result from late shipments, the late addition of faculty members and the addition of class sections.
