Bookstore and course materials

All mandatory course materials are covered by the PSEO program. If a course lists optional course materials those will not be covered by the PSEO program but can be purchased by the student out of pocket.

Prior to the beginning of each semester the PSEO office will email dates when PSEO students should visit the UMD Bookstore to pick up their course materials.

Obtain course materials

  • Print list of textbooks and course materials needed from MyU
    • Use the MyU portal to find your materials: Using a computer navigate to MyU and log-in with your UMD ID and password.
    • Click on the grey “Academics” tab on the left-hand side.
    • Your class schedule will appear in the center of the screen. Choose a date on the calendar when classes are in session.

    • Print this page to bring to the bookstore.

Digital materials

Some courses require digital materials. Digital materials are available on the first day of the course within your Canvas site.

You will receive an email about the digital materials, if any of your registered courses require access to digital materials. This email will also specify that there is a charge to access the materials. For PSEO students, this charge is redirected to the PSEO Office after a few business days, so you will not owe a balance for any digital materials.

If you would like the digital materials in print, there is an option to get the materials in loose leaf at the Bookstore.
