Textbook Buying Tips
  • Avoid line-ups by shopping early or late in the day. We’re open 8:30am - 7pm most days in early September. Check for specific dates and times.
  • Don’t buy first year English textbooks until you go to the first class.
  • Paying with cash, debit or gift cards are the fastest – all cheques must be authorized at the Information Desk before you shop.
  • Keep your receipts! They are essential if you need to return something. Make sure you are aware of the return deadline.
  • Booklists are available in-store or customize your own from the Textbooks Online Service. Print it off and bring it with you to save time.
  • Used textbooks cost 25% less than new textbooks. Both are shelved together.
  • At the end of term, check our online buyback list. You may be able to sell your books back to us for cash on your debit or credit card.
  • Everything you want to know and more is on our website - www.uvicbookstore.ca
