How do I get textbooks for my CCP courses

For high school-based courses, the relevant YSU academic department approves all textbooks. The CCP textbook is the same one used on campus. However, some departments will consider comparable books. The school district is responsible for supplying textbooks, lab materials, copies, etc. and you will receive them at your high school. You do not need to do anything for your high school-based courses.

For campus-based courses, you need to check with your school on what their policy is for purchasing or renting textbooks and required course-related supplies (example: blue books, scantron sheets, dissection kit, lab coat, or safety goggles) and how to return the textbooks once the course has ended. Some schools have an agreement with Barnes and Noble, YSU’s bookstore, for students to make purchases on campus. If your school counselor is not in, contact your school principal for assistance.
