When is it open?
The UCCS Bookstore is currently open for in-store shopping. In 1-2 weeks in-store and curbside pickup will require appointments, more info to follow.

Methods of Pick-up
  • Curbside via vehicle: pull up to the curbside sign in front of the bookstore during your scheduled drive-up appointment. If an attendant is not present, follow the directions on the sign. Due to traffic issues, only two vehicles will be allowed at any given time, which will be regulated by the appointment app.
  • Curbside via walk-up: walk to the attendant outside the front of the bookstore during your scheduled walk-up appointment. If there is a line, please wait six feet apart.
  • In-store (after 8/10): arrive during your scheduled in-store pick-up appointment. We will offer limited walk-in customers based upon occupancy constraints. Will be managed by the same app to select an in-store shopping appointment, with limited walk-in customers based upon occupancy constraints. A face covering is required, and we are only able to accept debit/credit cards.
