Beginning with the Winter Quarter 2022, UCSC and the Bay Tree Bookstore will begin transitioning textbook services to a new model where you can order textbooks and course materials online and then have them delivered to your home or campus address.
The new platform is designed to provide you with affordable course materials, convenience, and choice. Created in partnership with Akademos, UCSC’s new textbook partner simplifies the ordering process for students.
The Bay Tree Bookstore will continue to sell branded merchandise including apparel, gifts, course supplies, computers, and other items. It will no longer stock textbooks and course materials, so please plan ahead for the upcoming quarter, and order the materials you need in advance of the start of classes.
Below is essential information about the benefits of the new course material ordering platform.
