Getting Your Course Materials

A:  Due to the high volume of orders during the first weeks of class, it may take a few days for orders to be ready for pick-up, and a few additional days to be shipped. 

A:  Only UMN Bookstores materials marked required by the instructor/department will show under your scholarship authorization link.

To see all the required and optional materials available for a class, go to the My Course Materials page.

• If an item is marked as optional but your syllabus states it's required for the course, email the Chlene Anderson, PSEO Adviser (anderchl@morris.umn.edu).

  • In the email, explain that you're a PSEO student, list the item you need, and attach a copy of your syllabus or an email from your instructor stating that the course material is required.

If the item is not sold through the UMN Bookstores, see the Reimbursements page for information on purchasing course materials from other vendors.

A:  See the Reimbursements page for more information about required non-UMN Bookstores purchases. 

A:  First, check the course syllabus to confirm that the out-of-stock course material listed is the one that's required for class. Occasionally, there may be errors. If there are issues, check with the instructor to confirm the right course material.

If that isn't the issue, email the Chlene Anderson, PSEO Adviser (anderchl@morris.umn.edu). the following:

Hello,

The course material <<insert item or textbook name, author, and ISBN (if known)>> for <<insert UMN Morris course (e.g., PSY 1051)>> is listed as out-of-stock in the UMN Bookstores' scholarship system. Please let me know if there's an alternative option, and/or when there may be additional stock in the UMN Bookstores system?

If there doesn't seem to be an alternative option and/or there won't be additional stock coming into the UMN Bookstores soon, you may purchase the required course materials yourself (use the seller listed in your syllabus; if unspecified, use Amazon.com or another retailer) and get reimbursed. When you submit your reimbursement request, include a note that you needed to purchase the item because it was out of stock in the UMN Bookstores system.

A:  Email the Chlene Anderson, PSEO Adviser, at anderchl@morris.umn.edu to request the required course material in the alternate format as soon as possible. It typically takes a couple of weeks to get an item in an alternate format through the UMN Bookstores. If the item is not available through the UMN Bookstores, we may ask you to use the reimbursement process to get the item in the needed format from another vendor.
