There are some textbooks on the syllabuses, however, they are not on “教科書リスト”. What does this mean?
Although there are some textbooks written in the syllabuses, we do not handle them fundamentally because the faculties of the courses have not requested the campus bookstores to sell them. In this case, you necessarily need to attend the first class of the course, and ask your faculty directly.

Do I need to buy all of the course required textbooks at once?
No, you do not need to buy everything at once. You can buy your required textbooks for the courses which you have already selected at that point.

Can I buy my required textbooks outside of the above periods?
After the periods mentioned above, we will partly continue to sell the textbooks at each campus bookstore. Please note that the textbooks which will not be sold continuously at each campus bookstore will be backordered so that it may take some time until you can buy them.

Do I also need to buy my course required textbooks for the fall term?
We will sell the textbooks also in the fall term. If you decide to change your courses, it is better to buy your textbooks in the fall term.

Because I would like to change my course to take, can I return the textbook which I bought?
You cannot return the textbooks you bought or get a refund, except if there are printing defects like pages out of order or pages missing.
