⚠️ Canvas Outage Update: Canvas is currently offline due to a nationwide cybersecurity incident impacting higher education institutions. All final exams and assignments scheduled for May 8–10, 2026, have been postponed. Please monitor the university’s Canvas Incident page and status updates for the latest information.
It is important that you order your textbooks so that you have them on the first day of class. Many courses require textbook readings during the first or second week of class, so please be sure to order them in time!
Ordering textbooks
To order textbooks or materials, use the “Buy Textbooks” tool on the Illini Union Bookstore website.
Other Textbook Ordering and Purchasing Options
You may wish to purchase books or course materials from other retailers. Please be sure to match the ISBN listed in the Illini Union Bookstore to ensure you are buying the correct materials. Electronic books may have a different ISBN than a printed version. In these instances, check the title, author(s), and edition to ensure they match.
- Not all courses have textbooks, and some courses require other ordering methods (Amazon.com, Association publication pieces, etc.). Please contact your instructor if you are unsure about ordering.
