Textbook instructions for Students
Accessing your student account
- Select the Login or Register link located in the top right navigation menu.
- Next, chose the gold button "Sign in with your CU ID" and login using your CU student IdentiKey email and password (Example: rabu1876@colorado.edu). This uses Single Sign On (SSO) and your CU IdentiKey credentials to securely log you in.
Note: A guest/new customer login will not allow you to directly access your personalized booklist, view rental options or use your university charge account as a form of payment.
View your textbooks in "My Account"
- Once you have logged in, click on the My Courses tab to see your course list
- Click Begin Shopping to view textbooks, pricing options and book availability for each course in your curriculum.
Note: You can also access textbook info from the Textbook search page, but you will need to add your curriculum manually. Course materials are displayed using the term, department, class CRN, and section number
Purchasing textbooks
Add textbooks to your cart and checkout to purchase books online. If you are logged into your IdentiKey student account, you will see "Tuition and Fee Bill" as a payment option during checkout.
We recommend using our convenient in-store pickup to save on shipping costs. Or, you can choose to have your textbooks shipped to you during checkout.
