Bookstore
Our new Seattle Colleges Online Bookstore serves North Seattle, Seattle Central, and South Seattle Colleges. It operates completely online. Visit the website to order textbooks and course materials. Campus-specific information and access to the bookstore website are available on each college's bookstore landing page:
Please note: the former on-campus bookstores at North, Central, and South are closed.
Thank you for your patience as we navigate this transition.
Fall Quarter 2024 - Digital Availability
For Fall Quarter, Akademos by VitalSource will provide an interim online bookstore that offers digital materials only. Print options will be available starting Winter Quarter.
Students are advised to:
- Obtain the textbook and course material information (author, title, International Standard Book Number (ISBN)) via Canvas, course syllabus, and/or email from faculty.
- Compile a list of all the textbooks and materials required for your classes to use when you order from the bookstore website.
- Search the bookstore website for textbooks and course materials by author, title, or ISBN.
If you are unable to find the textbooks or course materials on the new bookstore website, please let your professors and instructors know so they can assist you, discuss options, and find alternatives. - Check out and pay with a credit card, Apple Pay, or PayPal. We are also working on options for students who use vouchers from alternative funding programs to cover the costs of books. Details on that are coming soon.
Note:
- Information on how to access any of your purchased digital course materials will be emailed to you.
- You may also obtain your materials from another source as needed.
