All items available in the campus store are available on the Bennington College Online Bookstore, including books, supplies, snacks, Bennington swag, gear, and more.
Undergraduate students: Course material and textbook information posted by faculty is visible in Bennington College's academic information system, Populi—just click on the name of the course in your schedule, and make sure you're on the "Info" tab. Students are encouraged to review these pages well before the beginning of term, and to order all required course materials from a vendor of their choosing, before the term begins. Although a limited number of books will be available for each class in the on-campus bookstore, these are primarily intended to facilitate the add/drop process.
Required supplies are also listed on the course page in Populi. Course supplies will be in stock and available for purchase in the on-campus bookstore at the beginning of term.
General art and school supplies, as well as supplies that are specifically requested by faculty members for classes, are available on campus in the Bookstore. Paint, canvas, specialty paper, tools, brushes, and more are in stock throughout the term.
The Bookstore will not be offering book buybacks this term. The Bookstore buybacks were through online book buyers, so students are encouraged to look online for similar options such as Abe Buybacks and Textbooks.com. Books can be dropped off at the bookstore for donation to other students. The store donates all unused books to community organizations and groups.
When you want to give a gift that can be used in the bookstore, you can either add funds to a student's Bennington Card (all you need is their 5-digit ID number and last name) or you can purchase a gift card.
