How do I buy books?

Save time and money by ordering required textbooks online from the virtual bookstore. Textbooks are sold at a discount and shipped right to your home. (Remember, there’s no software to buy!). Textbooks are needed for your first class.

Go to Bookstore. Then, find the name of the class you are taking and follow the link to purchase. All workbooks must be purchased as new.

Refund policies and shipping times are determined by each vendor and will vary. Neither Western Suffolk BOCES nor Wilson Technological Center assume responsibility, either real or implied, for your transaction. In the event a class is canceled for any reason or you decide to withdraw from the class, students are responsible for textbook returns and any refunds available to them. If you have any questions about the textbook for your class, call (631) 667-6000 x320.
