Tips on Shopping for Textbooks:

• Shop sooner rather than later – more used books will be available and you will be sure you have all of your materials ready to start on the first day of class.
• If ordering online, do so at least 2 weeks before classes start to allow for shipping time.
• Buy used books when available to save money.
• Bring your class schedule or course syllabus with you. You can print it from the Student Connection [3].
• Check the textbook link on duspirit.com for price and ISBN information
• Ask for assistance from bookstore staff. They are there to help you get the right text books, materials and supplies.
• If your book comes with an online application, do not open or activate codes until needed for class.
• Books for online courses or in-seat classes at other campus locations order books from MBS Direct at http://bookstore.MBSdirect.net/davenport [1]

Where can I find the textbook information - ISBN, title, price, etc...

You can find textbook information online at the official online bookstore, http://bookstore.MBSdirect.net/davenport [1] or at the Davenport Spirit Store, www.DUspirit.com [4] or in the bookstore on the book shelf tag by the course subject and number.

Tips for Using a Book Voucher

• Make sure to complete the payment process on the Davenportal or with your advisor. Be sure to request a voucher if needed.

• Vouchers can be used on the DU Spirit voucher website and the MBS Direct website as well as in the store.
• Vouchers can be used for books, supplies, electronics, laptops, scrubs and anything you would need for your classes.
