General Information

Welcome to Textbook Services. Textbook Services' mission is to provide primary and secondary textbooks and learning resources to University of Wisconsin-River Falls students in direct support of the curriculum. If you are an undergraduate student at UWRF, once you've registered and paid your fees, you may pick up your textbooks at Textbook Services in the lower level of Hagestad Hall. Except for online courses, your textbook rental fee ($71.65 per semester for a full time student) has been paid as part of your tuition. If you are a graduate student, you may purchase most of your texts at the Falcon Shop in the University Center.

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 textbooks.

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 textbook 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.
