When to Buy Books
We recommend that you purchase your books as soon as you have completed your course registration for a new quarter and no later than the first day of classes. While Cal Poly Pomona makes every effort to ensure that required books are available at the Bronco Bookstore, books for very popular courses and/or courses with waiting lists can become temporarily out-of-stock.
To determine which books you will need for your classes, please visit the Search by Course website and to view a breakdown of book requirements for each course.
