If you pick up your texts the week before classes start, you will be much less likely to have to wait in line. Please bring your student ID card when you come to pick up your texts.

The expanded hours at the beginning and end of the semester allow for the increased volume of business during textbook issue and return. Arranging to pick up and return your textbooks during "off hours", when there are fewer other students also wishing to pick up and return textbooks, may save you time spent waiting in line. In general, the least busy times during book issue are anytime the week before classes begin, and the evening hours after classes begin. During the finals week book return, the least busy hours are early in the week and evening hours.
