Then, under the New Users column, click Register. Fill in all the required information that is requested. Please use your SMC e-mail address, especially if you are using Pell/Third Party as payment options. When you have finished, click on Create Account. You are now ready to order.

  • Finally, click the Submit button to display the textbooks for your course.
  • Add the books that you want to purchase to your cart by clicking the checkbox next to Buy This Item. Once you have selected all of your books, click the Add to cart and go to Cart button. Make sure that the books in the cart are correct and then choose an option under the Textbook New/Used Condition Preference section. You will not be able to go on until you choose one of these options. Then click the Checkout button.
  • Login under the Returning Users tab.
  • This will bring you to the page for Delivery Options. You can have the books shipped to your home or you can pick them up at the Niles or Dowagiac campus. If you choose Store Pick-up, Pay Now, another box to the right, will open up allowing you to choose Dowagiac or Niles campus. Please do not pick the ship option if you are picking your books up at one of the campuses because this will add a shipping fee to your total order. Once you pick an option, you have the opportunity to leave a comment.
  • Continue on to Check-out. This will bring up the Payment Options page. If you are using financial aid or third party to pay for your books, please make sure everything is ready to go. If we do not show you have financial aid or a third party voucher in our system, we will not process the book order. You will have to put your Student ID number and your Wired email address for both financial aid and third party options. Textbooks being paid for by a third party must also include the name of the company.
  • Continue to Check-out and review your order once you know it is complete. Click on the Complete my Order button. Please allow two to three days for your order to be processed. Students placing an order the week before and the week of the start of a semester should allow three to five days for processing.
