Virtual Bookstore

Effective January 21, 2015, the virtual bookstore information has been updated.  

Required and optional textbooks and course materials are available to students for purchase in print and/or electronic formats through our Virtual Bookstore. Students can access the Virtual Bookstore by visiting the University website at www.westcoastuniversity.edu.

The Virtual Bookstore opens three weeks prior to the start of a term and closes at the end of the third week into a term. All students are encouraged to place their orders as soon as possible once the Virtual Bookstore opens to ensure timely delivery of their materials prior to the course start date.

Purchases are delivered directly to the student’s place of residence or to their Virtual Bookshelf (for eBook orders only). Students must purchase their required textbooks and course materials every term from the Virtual Bookstore or from a retail outlet of their choice.  Students are expected to obtain and utilize the editions and versions of textbooks and materials as specified in their course syllabi. Distance Education students receive electronic books (e-books) of the required textbooks and this is included in the cost of attendance.  Distance education students can purchase a print version, but additional charges may apply.
