Frequently Asked Questions


Where are the bookstores located?
At the main Arnold Campus we are in the Student Union Building, room 160. At the Arundel Mills site we are on the first floor in the student lounge, room 106. At the Glen Burnie Town Center site we are on the second floor in room 215.
When is the best time for me to buy my textbooks?
Buy early for the best selection of used books. This also gives the advantage of not having to stand in long lines during the first week of class. You should try to buy during our 10% textbook discount period which is available in all three stores and online, typically two to four weeks before the semester starts. You may visit our Textbook Affordability page for more information and more options for acquiring your textbooks.
How do I know what textbooks I will need for a particular course?
If you visit us in the store, please bring a current copy of your course schedule. This will help our staff find the correct textbooks for the particular sections in which you are enrolled. When shopping online, use a current course schedule to select your course and section from our textbook finder. This will ensure you receive accurate information. If you are currently registered and have access to your myAACC account, you may use the My Textbooks link found in the Students tab to find all of the textbooks for your courses at once for easy shopping and accurate ordering.
A textbook shows a price of $0.00 or $0.01. Is that really the correct price?
Sorry! Textbooks showing a price of $0.00 or $0.01 have not yet been received from the publisher. Textbooks, unlike other retail goods, are invoiced with shipment, meaning their price is not able to be set until we actually receive them and stock them to our shelves. The correct price will show online once we receive the textbook.
