The Bookstore

As of July 1, 2025, BCC is proud to partner with eCampus.com and University Gear Shop to enhance your course material and campus retail experience:

eCampus.com – Your 24/7 online bookstore for all textbook and course material needs, offering both print and digital formats.
University Gear Shop (BCC’s Campus Store) – Your on-campus destination for retail shopping and convenient pickup of course materials.

Our New Partners

Under this new model, eCampus now manages all textbook and course material purchases through an online platform. Students can choose from a variety of options — including new, used, rental, and digital formats — with added benefits like a price-match guarantee and a buyback program. Faculty will adopt their course materials directly through the eCampus system, with support available during the transition.

At the same time, the University Gear Shop (UGS), BCC's reimagined on-campus store, will oversee all retail and supply operations. This includes managing course-related materials such as lab kits, calculators, scrubs, and art supplies, along with BCC-branded merchandise and spirit wear. Supplies will be available both in-store and online, with flexible delivery or pickup options. Each semester, UGS will work closely with faculty to ensure necessary supplies are stocked in advance of classes.

Frequently Asked Questions

Student FAQ

Where do I buy my textbooks now?

Textbooks will be purchased online through eCampus, which offers new, used, rental, and eBook options.
Is there a price match option?

Yes! eCampus offers a price match guarantee for textbooks. Full details will be available on the BCC-branded eCampus site and the staff in the Bookstore can help answer any questions.
How long does shipping take?

Shipping times depend on the method you choose — USPS or UPS — offering both ground and expedited options.
Can I sell my textbooks back?

Yes. eCampus offers a buyback program that accepts books in various conditions.
Can I use financial aid to buy books and supplies?

Yes. eCampus and Bookstore, through UGS, are working together to enable the use of financial aid for textbooks and eligible supplies.
Where do I buy course-related supplies (e.g., calculators, art materials)?

These supplies will be available at the Bookstore on campus and through its online store, aligned with course requirements.
Is there still a physical campus store?

Yes. The Bookstore will remain open for purchasing supplies, spirit gear, and providing in-store ordering assistance.
Can I get my materials in-store or only online?

You can order online and choose either home delivery or free in-store pickup at the Bookstore.
What about cooks' whites, scrubs, or lab kits?

These course-specific items will be available through the Bookstore, both in-store and online.
Will there be vending machines for last-minute items?

No vending machines will be in the store, but frequently needed items will be regularly stocked in the Bookstore and online.
Classes may start using texts day one. For students who enroll the week before classes or during add drop, what is the solution to have an immediate text since text acquisition is dependent on the publisher, based on what I read in FAQ — which is variable with delivery time?

The goal is always to have items in stock prior to students ordering. For in stock items, they will ship to students the same or next business day. If there is an item that couldn’t be obtained from the publisher prior or it was a late addition to the bookstore we will do everything we can to get that to the student in a timely manner. If the book is available with an eBook, we will gift the student a digital copy at no additional cost to use until the physical book arrives.
