Bookstore

Everything You Need Is at the Bookstore

The SMC Bookstore has all the books, course materials, and supplies you need for class as well as the SMC fan gear you need to show your school pride. From t-shirts and other apparel, gifts and accessories, to housing essentials, snacks, computers, and printers, the official SMC campus store has it all!

Shopping Options

  • In Store

    Visit the bookstore on SMC’s Dowagiac campus to get your textbooks and course supplies and to browse our selection of apparel and accessories. 

    Your student ID will be required to pull your list of materials and purchase/rent them from the bookstore. A computer and printer is available at the bookstore to view and print your list of materials, but to save time, print it out ahead of time by visiting the Get My List website, or bring your smartphone to view your list of materials on your phone.

  • Online

    Visit shopsouthwestern.com to easily shop the bookstore’s full inventory of textbooks, apparel, and supplies. All you need is your student ID!

    When ordering online, you can have books shipped to your home for a flat rate of $7.50 or you can have them shipped to the SMC Bookstore or the Niles bet36体育在线 for free. Visit the bookstore FAQs page for assistance placing your order. 

    Note: Books shipped to Niles will arrive first at the Dowagiac campus and then be sent to Niles. You will receive a notification when your books have arrived at the Dowagiac campus, but they still need to be sent to Niles. Either call the Niles campus and ask if your books are there before you go or wait to pick them up until you get a phone call from someone at Niles letting you know your books are there.

  • Student Discover

    Student Discover is a web app that allows students to view and purchase all their books and course materials in one portal immediately after registering for classes. To access Student Discover, click the Bookstore link under My Courses in SMC Wired, then click the Follett Discover box in the right column.

Textbook Options

The bookstore offers a number of options for purchasing both hard-copy and digital textbooks, so you can find the option that suits you.

  • Purchase

    Think you’ll want to keep your textbook or want the freedom to mark it up as you need? Purchase textbooks to own in full. Purchased books can be sold back to the bookstore for a partial refund if you change your mind later. 

  • Rental

    Textbook rental provides substantial savings off the new book price and increases sustainability by reusing textbooks multiple times. To rent, you must be 18 years of age, have a valid government-issued ID, a valid credit card, email address, and primary phone number.

  • Digital/Ebooks and Follett Access

    Cut your textbook costs and lighten your backpack with ebooks! Many textbooks are offered in a digital format.

    Follett also offers a digital textbook program, which SMC is piloting in the Spring 2024 semester. The Follet Access program is easy to use. Follow these simple steps:

    1.  Meet with your advisor and register for courses.

    2.  Check shopsouthwestern.com for textbooks (click on "textbooks" and enter your Student ID in the box).

    3.  Review the Follett Access List Of Courses seeing those that are included and not included in the Follett Access program.

    4.  Purchase the textbooks that are not included.

    5.  Open Moodle the day the semester starts to see the link to included textbooks and resources.

    6.  That’s it. Your college bill will display costs for included textbooks at typically 30%-60% retail prices. Visit  Follett Access FAQs for more detailed information about the Follett Access program.

  • Price Match

    If you find an identical in-stock textbook for rent or purchase priced lower elsewhere, tell us. We will match it, right at the register. See store for details and restrictions.
