How to Buy Textbooks and Course Materials
BGSU does not operate a physical campus bookstore. All textbook listings and purchases are handled online. BGSU does not process payments, offer refunds or handle returns.
- Log in to MyBGSU.
- Select "View Booklist" under Quick Links.
- Compare prices from major retailers such as Amazon, Chegg and VitalSource.
- Add materials to your cart.
- Checkout on each retailer’s site separately.
- If an item is labeled “purchase through Canvas,” it means the course requires digital courseware. (You will not buy this item through the BGSU Textbook website. Instead, you will purchase access inside your Canvas course—usually during the first week of class.)
- Instructors may update course materials throughout the semester. If your course shows as “awaiting information,” check back later.
