UCLA Store Textbooks
Find your course materials at UCLA Store Textbooks
UCLA Store Textbooks is the one-stop-shop for UCLA students buying course materials. Visit the textbook store in person on Level A in Ackerman Student Union or online through the link below.
How do I know what course materials I have to buy?
For students who don’t know what course materials are required for their classes, use the “Find my Textbooks” tool available through the above link. Simply enter the school, term, department, course number and section, and the “Find my Textbooks” tool will display the course materials needed. It also compares textbook prices across websites so students can get the best deal.
If no course materials are listed in the “Find my Textbooks” tool, check each course syllabus to find more information; it is possible that there are required course materials that have not been entered in the system.
How do I get my textbooks?
Students can purchase their textbooks in-person at the UCLA Store Textbooks department or online. There are two ways to purchase online: students can order their textbooks through the UCLA Store Textbooks website or shop directly from the “UCLA Course Materials” tab on their course website. Students can pick their textbooks up from the textbook store or have their textbooks delivered. Free Housing Mail Center delivery is available for all on-campus housing, and off-campus students can select from other shipping options, available for a fee.
How do I buy digital textbooks or ebooks?
For courses enrolled in the Inclusive Access program, students have automatic access to discounted digital course materials. Students can check whether their course is enrolled in Inclusive Access through their course website on Bruin Learn. The digital course materials are free for all students during the first two weeks of the quarter. Students who have not opted out after two weeks will retain access to the materials, and the discounted price will be added to their Bruin Bill. Read more about Inclusive Access through the button below.
For students in classes that do not participate in Inclusive Access, don’t hesitate to ask your professors to sign up for Inclusive Access to get immediate access to course materials at a reduced cost; UCLA faculty members are very responsive when students ask for Inclusive Access.
What do I do with my textbooks after I’m finished using them?
UCLA Store Textbooks has a Buyback program available year-round. Students can bring their used textbooks and the department will provide them with the latest buyback price. When students sell their textbooks back through the Buyback program, the UCLA Store doesn’t have to order as many new textbooks and more future students can save money by buying used textbooks at a discounted price.
How do faculty members request course materials?
UCLA faculty members can request books and other course materials through the Faculty Requisitions website. This website is also where instructors put together custom course readers and sign up for Inclusive Access.
For instructors who are assigning iClickers, requisitions depend on whether physical or Cloud-based iClickers are assigned. Instructors who prefer physical iClicker remotes should submit a textbook requisition for them through the Faculty Requisitions page linked above. Meanwhile, instructors who prefer the no-direct-cost iClicker Cloud tool should visit the link below for more information.
Where can I get help if I have a question?

What else can I buy from the UCLA Store?
Apart from textbooks, the UCLA Store sells other academic and class materials aside from Bruin apparel, accessories and gear. From basics like No. 2 pencils to subject-specific stationery like notebooks with hexagonal graph paper, the UCLA Store has a variety of materials for students and professors alike.
