<p>Are you guys ordering your books online or waiting till you get to campus?</p>
<p>P3T, any suggestions?</p>
<p>Where can you find out what textbooks to use before you arrive on campus?</p>
<p>Go to WebAdvisor. Under "Registration" it says "buy my textbooks". I tried it today and the site was "temporarily unavailable" so we'll have to see if it comes back up soon.</p>
<p>I had tried that and got the same answer. Hopefully, they will list the SKU for each text so that you can order on-line. If not, there is a concern that you might be ordering the wrong edition.</p>
<p>My son and I went to one of the Welcome Receptions for Chapman this weekend. I asked one of the orientation leaders there about the fact that the webadvisor had the textbook information temporarily unavailable.</p>
<p>She told my son to go to efollett.com. Type in Chapman, and you can check each individual class list of books there. </p>
<p>You need the section number as well as the course number. It is easy to see it - if you are in English 104 it would come up as Eng 104-02 (if you are in the second section). Just view your class schedule on webadvisor and make sure you input that.</p>
<p>You might also want to check half.com, ebay and amazon, she said. I looked today and a few of the pricier ones had some copies much cheaper. Make sure if the prof wants the book with the 2 cds and webaccess, and the 7th edition, that those are the ones you are looking for. You don't want to spend a bunch of money on the wrong edition of the book!</p>
<p>Good luck!</p>
<p>Thanks so much; I just ordered 2 books at a considerable savings!</p>
<p>I'm going to a welcome reception tomorrow. Can I ask how the women were dressed?</p>
<p>Timely,</p>
<p>Very casual. Kids wearing typical going to school type clothes, moms and dads ran the gamut between dressy and casual. It was not a formal event. The one we went to was held at this amazing home, and we were outside the whole time during the event. Snacks and drinks, a few little goodies for the kids who attended. Well worth it. </p>
<p>There were probably 20 kid orientation leaders, about three staff members and they asked each kid to come up to the microphone and introduce themselves - name, where are they from, future major, housing assignment. </p>
<p>Make sure you ask questions. That is why they hold these receptions. It is a major icebreaker (like facebook), and also nice to see the kids that represent Chapman.</p>
<p>Timely,</p>
<p>Did I just lose a bid on ebay to you? I just lost a bid for a FTV book to a member named Timely2000. How ironic, if it is true!</p>
<p>LOL! It was me! That's what you get for telling me how to find out about the books!</p>
<p>OK, that is just too funny.</p>
<p>I am so checking with you the next time I bid...</p>
<p>No hard feelings. It is nice to save some cash, especially now!</p>
