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.

- 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.
