Dear Students,
Beginning with the 2020 Winter Term, The Wartburg Store will transition to a virtual bookstore model that will offer affordable course materials, convenience, and choice. The online store will have all the textbooks, access codes, and lab manuals you need, and all orders will be delivered to your home or to the Wartburg Mail Center.
The Wartburg Store will continue to operate its on-campus store to sell Wartburg College spirit gear including apparel, gifts, drinkware, home décor, as well as school and residence hall supplies plus technology accessories. Textbooks will NOT be for sale at the campus store, so please plan ahead for the upcoming academic term by reviewing and ordering the course materials you will need before classes start.
Below are some essential tips for you:
Where will I purchase my textbooks?
Visit our portal online at www.Wartburg.textbookx.com.
How does it work?
When you log in to the portal with your Wartburg College ID, you will see a personalized page featuring your courses and the course materials your faculty have assigned to them. You can then select from among the new, used, rental, and eBook options available. You also can select from Marketplace options, which are sold by students around the country and other third-party sellers at heavily discounted prices. NOTE: When purchasing from Marketplace options, the shipping and return policy is likely different than our textbook portal. Take note when ordering.
What's different?
Students should order their books in advance of the first day of school to ensure they have them for the first day of classes and to take advantage of the lowest prices available from the textbook portal inventory. The textbook portal opens Dec. 1, 2019, for the 2020 Winter Term.
How will my items be delivered?
You can choose to have your course materials delivered to your home or to Wartburg’s Mail Center. Be sure to include your first and last name and mailbox number in your address information if shipping to campus.
