University of Minnesota Bookstores

The U of M Bookstore at Coffman offers students one-stop access to all of their required course materials. The Bookstore, located on the ground level of Coffman Memorial Union, carries all textbooks and course packets for every undergraduate, graduate, professional, independent study and distance education course offered at the University of Minnesota.

The Bookstores have three other campus locations:

• The St. Paul Store, located in the St. Paul Student Center, carries textbooks and course materials for the courses offered on the St. Paul campus.
• The Law School Store, located in Mondale Hall, carries textbooks and course materials for the courses offered by the U of M Law School.
• The UMC Bookstore, located in the U of M Crookston Student Center, carries textbooks and course materials for the courses offered on the Crookston campus.

The Bookstores offer students extended hours at the beginning of each term, online textbook ordering and accept telephone orders to help them get their course materials.

Please include your name, phone number and e-mail address on all requisitions, no matter how you submit them, so we can reach you with any questions.

One Stop Course Information

All of your textbook adoption information is available online from the Bookstore Web site and the U of M's One Stop Web site for your students shortly after we receive your requisition. This access allows students to verify course information, check estimated pricing, confirm availability and if they choose, order their textbooks online. Please help us serve your students better and faster by submitting your text requisitions as early as possible.

Desk Copies

Desk copies are available directly from the publisher. For information on obtaining a desk copy follow this link for publisher information or contact the Faculty Textbook Office for assistance.

Used Books Save Students Money

The sooner we know what textbooks you need the sooner we can buy those books back from the students. The U of M Bookstores pay students cash for the used titles we need for the upcoming semester. Not only does book buy help students by giving them money and recycling their unwanted books, it also helps your next student with lower textbook costs. If you plan on using a book for more than one semester please indicate that on your textbook requisition.
