This quarter we started using a new online platform that streamlines the process for finding and ordering your course materials. UCSC has partnered with Akademos to provide textbooks and other course material at reduced prices and offer more purchasing options including new, used, digital, and rentals.
For spring quarter, some new features have been added to enhance the individualized shopping experience.
Once you’re registered and have chosen your classes for spring quarter, the required textbook and resources for each class will automatically be added to your personalized page.
