Bruin Books Ordering

Fall 2020, July 10-26

Bruin Books is the textbook ordering system from Belmont University and MBS Direct designed to offer students an easy, seamless, price-competitive and direct-ship service for your textbook needs.

How It Works

1. YOU HAVE CHOICE!

Once you opt into the program, a ‘No Thanks’ option gives you the ability to remove books from your cart.

2. YOU WILL KNOW WHEN YOUR ORDER ARRIVES

We will check in packages at the Gabhart location. You will then receive an email letting you know your package has arrived and is ready for pick-up.

3. ALL-IN-ONE LOCATION- GABHART STUDENT CENTER

The Belmont Store textbook staff will relocate their offices temporarily to Gabhart during pick-up so that you have one location to get your packages, ask questions and bring books you need shipped back for credit.

4. 14 DAY AUTO RETURN ON PACKAGES

Bruin Books and the UPS Store will implement a 14 day return policy. When a package is not picked up within 14 days of arriving, it will be returned at no expense to you. This policy applies to the Bruin Book program only (not other packages received on campus). It will speed up the process of receiving credit for books that you don’t want.

5. CLEAR COMMUNICATION

Communications will come to your pop account. Be sure to check it often for order updates and information.

6. OPT-OUT OPTION MOVED

The link to ‘Opt-Out’ is located at the top of the portal’s home page. This link will send you to a stand-alone site that will capture the ‘opt-out’ and eliminate the confusion of accidentally opting back in when you view your course materials. After you opt-out, you can go back to the Bruin Books site and view your required materials as many times as you wish.

7. DROP/ADD and LATE REGISTRATION MADE EASIER

After the portal closes, anyone who didn’t opt-out will be auto-enrolled. The portal will reopen on a later date so that you can order the materials for ‘added’ classes. ‘Added’ courses will appear in the portal within 30 minutes of registration. You will be prompted to select New, Used, Rental, e-Book or No Thanks. This feature not only allows you to see the costs of your texts, but it also lets you have your course materials shipped to an address convenient to you.
