Course Materials

The University Store offers you every textbook or course material that you may need while you are a student at Bloomsburg University. Textbooks are sold in new or used condition. In some courses textbooks are also rented or may be offered as digital or e-books.

When you visit the Textbook Department in the rear of the bookstore, the shelf tags show your book requirements for each course number exactly as requested by your professors. Shelf tags indicate “Required”, “Recommended” or “Optional” books.
We recommend that you go to class before purchasing the “Optional”, or “Recommended” books. Students can expect to spend approximately $400-$600 on textbooks, and $50-$75 on course materials and school supplies per semester. (These figures are averages and science and nursing majors will generally have higher expenses.)

Used textbooks are available for most courses and will save you approximately 30 percent off of the price of the new textbooks. If you shop early you can avoid the crowds and find a good selection of money-saving used books.

Generally, we recommend purchasing used textbooks for introductory or general courses, and new textbooks for courses in your major or whenever you will want to keep the book for future reference

Most of our textbooks are available to rent instead of buy.  If you wish to rent your textbooks you can bring your books to our self-service rental kiosk near the checkout area and complete your rentals before you proceed to checkout with your purchases.

Payment Options

The university Store accepts cash, personal checks (with proper ID), Husky Gold and credit cards. Visa, MasterCard and Discover are accepted.
During a two week window at the beginning of each academic semester/session the University Store accepts excess financial aid as payment for course materials.  Directions to prepare your account for this type of payment are found on the ISIS login page tutorials, and also on our website. 


Husky Gold

Husky Gold – Students/parents may deposit money into their Husky Gold account and use those funds to make purchases at the University Store.
