You can avoid standing in the book rush lines by reserving your textbooks in advance. The UPT Book Center reservation service allows you to have your books prepackaged for easy pick-up when you arrive on campus.

To make use of this service complete the Textbook Reservation Form (see below) and return it to the Book Center before the due date with a copy of your Class Schedule. We will package up all books and required items for each class on your schedule. If you do not require books/items for one of your classes, simply cross this class off your schedule. A $10.00 cash or check deposit, which will be applied to the cost of your purchase, is required for this service. The deposit is not refundable if the books are not picked up or your credit card is declined. Make checks payable to The University of Pittsburgh.

Submit the following to the Book Center by the due date on the Reservation Form:

• A Textbook Reservation Form (click here).
  
  
• A copy of your Class Schedule.
  
  
• $10.00 check or cash deposit.
  
  

To submit, drop off or mail to:

A credit card receipt will be mailed to the address given on the reservation form and an itemized receipt will be boxed with your books. When you arrive on campus come into the Book Center with photo ID to pick up your box.

If you are considering purchasing all your books from another source, do not buy your textbooks now as they are only returnable if you withdraw from a class. Please see the return policy listed on this website.
