However, first look at the end of the bookshelves where there should be a computer printout listing classes, the name of the professor teaching the classes and the books required for the class. Books are arranged on the shelves by subject and class number. Ask a bookstore employee if you are having trouble. You can also look up which book are required for your courses online . At the first class meeting the professor will go over the syllabus and confirm which books are required and which are optional.
Used books are sometimes on the shelves.
They are cheaper and can be used as well as the new books. Additionally, University Texts and Supplies at 2113 Bellflower, across from Los Altos Shopping Center has used books and if you do find what you are looking for, it will probably be cheaper than those sold on campus. You can check with that office to see if there is a student group on campus whose members are from your country. When a class is full, or closed, and you want to take the class, it is possible to go to the first meeting of that class and request admission. The professor may or may not let you enroll.
