Purchase Textbooks
The College's Bookstore makes it easy to purchase required textbooks online.
Before buying your textbook(s), check your Faculty Syllabus to be sure you are required to buy it. An increasing number of courses use Open Educational Resources (OERs), including OER textbooks, which, while required, are available in online formats for free. Generally, for those that prefer a more traditional textbook, hard copies of OER texts can be purchased. Other options, such as downloading and print-yourself, may also be available.
Additional Resources
The Help Desk and Services Center provides a comprehensive online collection of guides and tutorials for Bucks' technology, including Canvas, Workday, and Office 365.
