  • Save Money on Books
    Before you make a trip to the Bookstore, check out the Diane M. Halle Library. If the library doesn't have the book you need, make sure to contact the Halle Library to see if any of our local partners have the book.

    If you need to purchase a textbook, compare prices at sites such as SlugBooks, BookFinder, CampusBooks, and Amazon to make sure you’re getting the best deal possible.

    You can lower your book costs by buying used books online, renting textbooks, purchasing e-books, or sharing with a classmate. While it is illegal to make photocopies of a textbook, there's nothing wrong with splitting textbook custody.

Post-Graduation Tips

1. Setting goals is what helps you pursue them. Write down some short and long-term life goals. For example: Where do you see yourself in one, three, and five years?

2. Take control of your money and your financial life by creating a spending plan/budget and emergency savings fund. If you haven’t done so already, sign up for Financial Avenue.
