Where do I pick up my textbooks if I chose in-store pickup?

• Pickup location is register 5 in the University Store.
• Pick up your books within 3 business days.
• If books are not picked up in this time, they will be returned to inventory and your student account will be refunded minus a $5 restocking fee.
• If you cannot pick up your order within 3 business days, please reserve your books for pickup at Student Express at the beginning of the semester.

• Due to COVID issues, a great deal of courses are still online/remote/hybrid so the University Store offers digital options for your course material.
  • It’s the quickest and safest way to ensure course materials are available on the first day of class.
  • Digital books cannot be contaminated by COVID-19.
  • Digital books do not need to be returned or shipped back at the end of the semester.
  • With physical textbooks, there is a chance your materials will not arrive by the first day of class.
• All materials will be updated on the student Book List as well as the Text Express website.
• If students are enrolled in a course with Auto Access content, those textbooks will already be digitally available in I-Learn.
• All regular e-books can be found here.

• If it's a digital book, you will have received an email with the link to the site where the book is available and a redemption code. If you cannot find this email, log into your account on byuistore.com, go to order tracking at the bottom of the page, and you can find the information there as well. 
• If it's an access code to content, the code will be emailed to you.
