Textbook Online Ordering Information

TOPS Program (Textbook Order Pick-up Service)

How TOPS Works

You may choose to pick-up your online textbook order at the University Store rather than having it shipped to you. Save shipping charges and avoid the chance that your books are delivered after you leave home. Plus you don't have to lug them to campus with your other stuff.

  • University store staff will select and box your books for pick-up according to your online order preferences.
  • Your charge card will be billed when the books are pulled from the shelf so your order is ready when you are. All TOPS orders will include Maryland state sales tax.
  • TOPS orders will be ready for pick-up at the University Store according to the following schedule:

    Online Order Date

     Pick-Up Date Range - Summer 2008 Textbooks

    Beginning

    May 5

    You will receive an e-mail  notification from the University Store informing you that your order is complete.  Your order will be available for pick-up 1 business day after you receive this e-mail notification.

  • A photo ID and online order number are required at the time of pick-up.
  • The TOPS Program may be limited to the first 500 requests due to space constraints.
  • All TOPS orders are subject to the same Textbook Refund Policy as textbooks selected directly from the shelf by the customer.
