Follett campus stores are ready for business

Posted on by

Our campus stores – textbook sales and much more! – are open and ready to welcome you for the fall semester. They’re now operated by Follett Higher Education, the largest campus retailer in North America.

Be on the lookout for emails from Follett – and also from some of its digital textbook providers, RedShelf and BryteWave – if your course is part of the Follett ACCESS program and had an inclusive access fee for required digital materials that will be available via Brightspace (our online learning and teaching system) on the first day of class.

If you need help learning how to access your digital course materials in Brightspace, connecting with college support services, and more, please review the online Campus Store Resource Guide for Students.

Going forward, you’ll benefit from Follett’s fundamental mission of delivering course materials that are more affordable and accessible than ever before. Options include new and used textbooks; digital materials such as eBooks, digital courseware, and Open Educational Resources. Follett is also an innovator with its text rental program, which can help you save up to 80 percent compared to purchasing new.

Our campus stores are more than just a bookstore: They now offer a wide assortment of on-trend, Central Piedmont-branded apparel and accessories; and an online store for even more shopping options.

Visit our campus stores – they’re open extended hours through Aug. 23 for your convenience at our Cato, Central, and Levine Campuses:

  • Monday through Friday: 8 a.m.-6:30 p.m.
  • Saturday, August 13: 11 a.m.-4 p.m.
  • Sunday, August 14: 12-4 p.m.

Starting Aug. 24, these three campus locations will be open from 8 a.m. – 5 p.m., Monday – Friday.

If you’re closer to Harris, Harper, or Merancas Campuses, there will be “pop-up” campus stores open Aug. 18 to Aug. 31 on this schedule:

  • Harris Campus: 11 a.m. – 4 p.m.
  • Harper Campus:  11 a.m. – 4 p.m.
  • Merancas Campus:  8 a.m. – 5 p.m.

Beyond those dates we’ve implemented a smart locker system to assist students with receiving textbooks and course materials throughout the semester. (Stay tuned for more information about the smart lockers in the coming weeks.)  

Central Piedmont’s campus stores are excited to serve our college community both in-store and via our online store (free shipping with orders over $50). For more information, call 704.330.6649 or email bookstore@cpcc.edu.
