How to Find and Order Textbooks
Overview
This document will go over the ways to find and order textbooks for your Asbury in-person and online classes. Asbury uses the service eCampus as their online textbook retailer. You can purchase your books through eCampus or view them on eCampus and then purchase from a third party (such as Amazon).
How to Find Textbooks
Through Portal:
To find your textbooks through Portal, you will need to log in to portal.asbury.edu with your Asbury credentials.
1. Once you have signed in, you can view textbooks for any class by looking that class up through the Class Lookup. If you wish to view the textbooks for a class you are already registered for, click on Class Schedules. If you want to check the required textbooks for a class while you are registering for classes, click on Class Registration.
a. In this example, we will click on Class Schedules to view our already registered classes.
2. Next, you will need to select the term you wish to classes from. We will select Spring 2018 from the drop-down menu.
3. Now you will see a blue "Textbooks" button under all the classes you are registered for. Click on the button on the class you wish to view textbooks for.
4. This will take you directly to ecampus's website and the required textbooks for the class you selected.

Through eCampus:
If you already know which classes you want view books for, you can go straight to eCampus's website to check textbooks.
