Textbooks/Materials for Courses

You are responsible for ensuring that you have ordered any additional course materials, if necessary (not all MET courses require purchase of course materials).

Textbooks/course materials for MET courses are typically made available for you online via the UBC Library and/or within your course website. Occasionally, print materials or hard copy books are required and will be made available for purchase via the UBC Bookstore. On the Bookstore website, you can find out whether you must order hard copy materials for a course that you are registered in.

To see if your texts are available, check the UBC Bookstore website. If you are local to Vancouver or find yourself in the area, your books should also be available for pick up. You may wish to contact the Bookstore for further details. This procedure will be the same every term.

When textbooks/materials are available for each course (usually 2-3 weeks before start of term), everyone registered in that course will receive an email notification. If you register after the date when texts become available, we will do our best to still send you the email notification of text availability, but you should also check yourself to see if you can get them yet.

If you order course materials from the Bookstore, the Bookstore will send you shipping information and timing when you place your order. You can also find general shipping information on the Bookstore website. Please contact the UBC Bookstore directly with any queries. The MET is not able to assist with ordering.
