Say goodbye to waiting in long lines while you’re trying to buy your new textbooks. The Camosun College bookstore has announced a new program that will allow students to pre-order texts online then come and pick them up in the store.<\/p>\n

Last September, the college ran a pilot program of the pre-ordering service at the Interurban campus. It went well and the service is now available at both campuses.
\n\"\"<\/a>
\nTo pre-order, head over to camosuncollegebookstore.ca<\/a> and find the “avoid the lines!” feature. You pay an extra $4 for the service, which covers packaging and the always-mysterious “handling,” but that doesn’t seem to be deterring students from using the service.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are already seeing a huge increase in the use of the pick-up in-store option and well over half of our orders are being picked up,” Laura-Lea Berna, Camosun manager of ancillary services, said in a statement. “As we get closer to the first day of classes on September 4, we expect this number to climb.”<\/p>\n

But don’t doddle: you need to place your order by August 29 (service will resume on September 14, after the back-to-school chaos winds down a bit).<\/p>\n

If you don’t want to pay that extra $4, books for fall classes are on the bookstore shelves now.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
