Campus Bookstores & Fulfillment Centers

Most campuses will not have in-store access. For now, LSC-CyFair is the only campus designated to be open to the public providing in-store and front counter services. The bookstore at LSC-CyFair will stock textbooks for LSC-CyFair courses only.

The remaining six campuses are listed as Fulfillment Centers which are designed to provide students with limited on-campus services with Barnes & Noble College. Services by campus locations are provided below.
