Go to the USF Bookstore website

Look up the required materials for each of your courses

Unless noted by the professor, USF allows you to select any new or used book (digital or hard copy); however, school districts may stipulate preferred options. Please check with your school counselor to see whether school/district has instructions pertaining to the types of books you should purchase or rent.

Professors sometimes list "suggested" or "recommended" materials; however schools/ districts only pay for required course materials, and students will be billed for the purchase of anything that is not listed as "required."

Once you have selected all required materials for all of your classes, you should continue to the Order Summary screen.

At Order Summary, review your order and follow the prompts to checkout.

You may request home delivery for materials ordered online, but to do so you must pay the delivery charges when you place the order. Books can be picked up at a USF bookstore free-of-charge.

When checking out to make your purchases, any online ordering process will always ask for the form of payment -you must select the form of payment as the Dual Enrollment account.

You will have money assigned to your account to cover the costs of your books and materials. If after you re-enter your University ID during checkout, you find that you are still being prompted to pay, it means that you have exceeded the expected cost of your required texts. Please email both the Bookstore managers ( k.troyli@follett.com) for prompt assistance in expanding this allowance as needed.

The following courses are not eligible for dual enrollment:
Courses of less than 3 credits (with the exception of labs)
