Bookstore
Textbooks, medical books, medical equipment and other items can be purchased online through WFU's University Store. The virtual bookstore offers additional textbook choices for students including new, used, rental and loose-leaf editions, with the ability to price compare online. Items can be shipped directly to students, faculty and staff.
Before buying a book, be sure you understand the return policies, since many books cannot be returned to the distributor after purchase. Early purchase of texts by first-year students is discouraged because course requirements can change, and consultation with other students may enhance wise and frugal acquisition of books.
Caps and gowns, class rings, white coats for medical students, and so forth will be handled by onsite representatives. The University Stores also carry Medical School memorabilia and gifts online.
