Tutorial
We do request that course materials orders are submitted by the following schedule:
- For fall courses, orders should be submitted by mid-June.
- For spring courses, orders should be submitted by mid-November.
- Summer and winter term courses, orders must be submitted at least 30 days before the course start.
Order Custom Course Packs
Please submit your custom course packet orders at least 2 months before the upcoming term to ensure that they will be available in the store by the first day of classes. We will accept custom course pack orders outside this production timeline (e.g. up until the course start date), but cannot guarantee availability by the first day of classes due to necessary processing and printing time.
