Bookstore Update for Winter Quarter 2025

Seattle Colleges’ Online Bookstore is changing to make purchasing your textbooks and class materials easier. On Monday, November 25, the newly updated online bookstore will open with information about your books and materials for Winter Quarter.  Note: this is a different website and experience than the one for Fall Quarter.

The newly updated online bookstore simplifies the textbook process and offers a variety of physical and digital textbook formats. You’ll find:

  • A personalized website experience when you log in with your student account
  • A quick ordering process – place an order in just 5 minutes
  • New, used, eBook, and rental textbook formats (depending on each course)
  • Price match guarantee on new books
  • An average savings of 60% off list price on marketplace items
  • Student support with 24/7 availability during the back-to-school season
  • Free shipping on retail orders over $79 (exclusions may apply)
  • The option to post and sell textbooks on the Valore Marketplace and get an instant quote
