Can I use my UCard to buy books off-campus?

No. The UCard Debit Account is strictly an on-campus service. You cannot purchase books from an off-campus bookstore using your UCard. However you can special order the books through the Textbook Annex, and use your UCard Debit Account to purchase them. It typically takes only a few days for special ordered books to arrive at the Textbook Annex. Also, please be aware that you cannot withdraw funds from the UCard Debit Account. If you decide to purchase your books off-campus, the UCard Office cannot return the funds you already deposited into your UCard Debit Account. To get that money back, you would need to close your debit account completely. Even so, it would be 4-6 weeks before your refund check arrived at your home.
