Textbooks

Because required textbooks are subject to change during the year, they are not listed in this bulletin. The titles of required textbook(s) and ordering information will be provided upon enrollment. Books may be purchased at many bookstores, but to ensure getting the correct edition, we recommend that you order them from the bookstore of the institution offering the course. Each bookstore stocks books required for only those courses offered by that institution. If you wish to know textbook costs prior to enrollment, contact the appropriate bookstores.

Do not include payment for books with tuition unless specifically indicated in the course description. Specify whether you want new or used books. To order textbooks by mail, use our book order form.

Textbooks may be ordered by phone with VISA or MasterCard. Colorado State, CU-Boulder, and UNC also accept American Express; and ASC, Colorado State, UNC, and CSU-Pueblo also accept Discover.

Textbooks for CU-Boulder credit courses may be ordered (or prices checked) online at cubooks.colorado.edu. Just click on Online Catalog, click on Course Materials, and Select a Semester (the current one is indicated). When selecting a department, choose CORR.

Colorado residents pay state sales tax on all bookstore purchases. Bookstores at CU-Boulder and UNC send all materials UPS. UPS cannot deliver to a post office box number.

Occasionally, textbooks become unavailable, and it becomes neccessary to discontinue accepting registrations. In that event, tuition will be refunded or transferred to another course with an equal number of credits. UNC will only accept request for refunds or transfers within 30 days of registration. ASC will only accept requests for refunds or transfers within 30 days of registration. CSU-Pueblo only accepts transfers or requests for refunds within 14 days of registration.
