Money Saving Tips For Purchasing Course Materials

Purchase used books when possible; Used textbooks are 25% cheaper than new, and help conserve our environment.
Purchase your books as early as possible; More used books are available, and the bookstore is not as busy.
Purchase only the required materials before class; If a textbook is listed as optional or recommended, wait until after classes begin, you may not need this book.
Sell your unwanted textbooks at the end of each semester; The USCA Bookstore will pay 50% of the purchase price for books that have been re-adopted for the next semester, are in the current edition, and are not overstocked at the bookstore, all other books may be purchased by a national used book dealer.

Making Your Textbook Shopping A Little Easier:

Bring your class schedule or course syllabus with you to the bookstore to make certain you're getting books for the correct course number and section number.
Avoid the crowd by shopping the bookstore during its less busy hours. The hours of 11 am to 2 pm are the busiest during the first week of classes at The USCA Bookstore.
