Fall 2009 Textbooks
Fall 2009 textbook information that has been processed to date is now available for searching. This information will be promptly updated as necessary. Additional textbook information will be posted as faculty textbook selections are processed by the University Store textbook staff.
Friendly Warning about When to Buy Fall Textbooks:
The University Store strongly cautions against actually purchasing fall textbooks too far in advance of the fall semester as this textbook information including prices is subject to changes throughout the summer that result from book availability problems, course cancellations/changes and faculty reassignments.
Since the University Store has very little control over the causes for changes in the textbook information, it is not liable for losses that may be experienced by customers who buy books from other store or vendor sources. The University Store advises customers to know a store's or vendor's textbook refund policy before buying books based on the textbook information listed on this site. The University Store's textbook refund policy for the Fall 2009 semester is posted on the refund policy page of this site.
When to Buy Fall Textbooks:
The University Store recommends buying books no sooner than one month prior to the first day of classes.
Fall 2009 textbooks will be available for purchase in the University Store beginning August 24.
Fall 2009 textbooks will be available for online ordering in early August. The exact date is to be determined.
Textbook Online Ordering Information
TOPS Program (Textbook Order Pick-up Service) - The ultimate in service and convenience!
How TOPS Works
You may choose to pick-up your online textbook order at the University Store. 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.
- An email notification will be sent to you by the University Store to inform you that your order is complete. In stock orders will be processed within 2 - 3 business days. Your order will be available for pick-up within 1 business day after you receive this email notification.
- A photo ID and online order number are required at the time of pick-up.
- Availability of the TOPS Program may be limited due to time and space constraints for order processing. A notice will be posted online if it is necessary to suspend the service.
- All TOPS orders are subject to the same Textbook Refund Policy as textbooks selected directly from the shelf by the customer.
