Ordering your textbooks through the College Store
The College Store is the official SUNY Potsdam textbook retailer and stocks professors’ required and recommended course materials. Getting the right books and course materials is important to a student’s academic success. The College Store has a direct connection to faculty instructors and each semester it orders materials the faculty have requested. In many cases, this includes special course packs, CDs and study guides.
Books ordered online through the Store’s website can be shipped or pre-packed for pick-up on campus. The online ordering system will show you which titles are required, recommended or suggested for courses. The Store sells textbooks in different formats: new, used, e-book, or rental. USED books are generally 25% less than the new book price, rentals and e-books are usually less expensive than new. The Store also has a price comparison tool for easy reference.
