Bookstore

Located south of the Mueller Student Center, the Richland Bookstore provides students with access to textbooks and required course materials. Beginning in Spring 2026, Richland will implement an Equitable Access Textbook model in partnership with eCampus. Under this model, students will be charged a flat per-credit-hour rate for required textbooks and materials, which will appear directly on the student's bill each semester.

Textbooks will be rented each semester and must be returned at the end of the term. Students will have access to materials by the first day of class and may pick up physical textbooks at the Bookstore before the semester begins. Participation is automatic; however, students may opt out within published deadlines.

Bookstore hours, textbook pick-up dates, and opt-out instructions will be available online https://www.richland.edu/student-resources/bookstore/ or by calling 217.875.7211, Ext. 6231.
