Textbook Butler: How it works

1

ENROLL

Once you have registered for classes, Tree of Life will automatically receive your required booklist based on your classes. You will select whether you would like new, used, rentals, or digital textbooks.

2

RECEIVE

Your books are delivered to you before classes start.

3

CHARGE

Your books are charged directly to your student account.

4

RETURN

At the end of the semester, if you selected rentals, they will need to be shipped (for free) back to Tree of Life by their due date.

If you choose to opt-out of the Textbook Butler automatic fulfillment service, you can access your required books on the Course Listing page. You can find what the required materials are and use the ISBN number to find them elsewhere.

NOTE: Students are required to have textbooks in hand on the first date of class. No exceptions will be made or assignment deadlines changed because of failure to order books in time for class.
