The OTC Bookstore provides textbooks and other course-related material, OTC apparel, and book bags. Other supply items such as paper, pencils, calculators, and notebooks are also available. Bookstores are located on the Waycross and Alma Campuses.

OTC Bookstore Purchasing Procedure
Books are sold to students who are registered to take courses scheduled at OTC. Books will be sold during the week of registration and throughout the first week of each term. To purchase books through the OTC Bookstore:

• The student must be registered for class(es).
• The confirmed class schedule must be brought to the Bookstore to ensure the correct books are purchased.
• Payment must be made at the time of purchase unless financial aid is available for books. Financial aid may be used beginning the first day of the term until the advertised last day to purchase on financial aid.
• To defer book fees, the student must have approved financial aid on file. No cash will be refunded in the Bookstore to students purchasing books through financial aid arrangements.
• The student must sign the invoice showing acceptance of books purchased and the liability for the books, should financial aid be later reduced.

Note:  Students are required to attend class(es) to qualify to have books purchased through financial aid arrangements. Students receiving books with financial aid will be liable for Bookstore charges if their financial aid is reduced as a result of dropping classes.

OTC Bookstore Telephone/E-Mail Purchases
Book purchases may be made by contacting the bookstore manager by phone or email. The course name, number and ISBN for the book must be provided. Payment must be made by debit or credit card prior to the Bookstore ordering the book. Due to shipment expense, a $10 shipping fee will be charged for all books that are purchased by phone or e-mail.
