It's TextRes Time

Place a textbook reservation within the past few months? Been chomping at the bit to get your hands on your textbooks for the Spring semester? Wait no more! The OTC bookstore has been scurrying around like crazy getting over four thousand orders together, and today, you can begin picking them up. If you're familiar with TextRes, you know how things work. If you're new to the TextRes experience, here's the rundown by campus.

NOTE: If you're taking classes at more than one OTC campus, your order will be held at the campus holding the majority of your classes (i.e. if you're taking one class on the main campus and two on the Lebanon campus, your order will be at the Lebanon campus). If you're taking classes mostly or solely online, you must specify what campus you want your orders delivered to by emailing textres@otc.edu. Otherwise, we will NOT have prepared an order for you.

ANOTHER NOTE: YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO PICK UP YOUR TEXTBOOKS WITHOUT YOUR OTC SMART CARD. IF YOU DO NOT HAVE ONE, PLEASE GO TO THE OTC BOOKSTORE AND APPLY FOR ONE BEFORE COMING TO PICK UP YOUR ORDER.

Proceed to the check-in table, and we'll look up your order number. Take your number to one of the cashiers along with your Smart Card, and we'll grab the complimentary tote bag containing your order. We'll go through your entire order, and you can take out anything you don't need or want. Finally, you can check out using your method of choice (MyPay, check, cash, etc.).
