Textbooks

STUDENT INFORMATION

Textbooks for Cornish classes are available from University Book Store located in the University District next to the University of Washington campus. The textbook section is located on the basement level. Cornish textbooks are always shelved together in a special "Cornish" section.

Buy textbooks online.

Normally, if no titles are listed for your course number then either:

• Textbooks may not be required for this class.
• The titles may not have arrived yet.
• The faculty may have ordered textbooks through another source.

Options:

• Call the bookstore at 634-3500 x355 to double check whether titles are available.

RETURN POLICY - The books need to be in original condition, and the student needs to have the receipt. It would also be helpful if students identify themselves as being from Cornish.

Why such an early deadline for Fall?

• University Book Store is competing with other academic bookstores to fill Fall orders. Early ordering helps them avoid out-of-stock problems. They understand that some Fall classes are not yet confirmed in May. If you order later they will do their best to obtain books in time for classes, but they cannot guarantee publisher availability.
