How do I get my textbooks?
Most UW–Madison Online courses use electronic textbooks (UW–Madison eText) that are embedded within your courses in Canvas. Costs for eTextbooks are significantly less than printed/physical textbooks. eTextbook fees are charged to your student account shortly before your tuition bill is applied to your account. If a course requires that you purchase supplemental course materials, you can purchase them through your choice of vendor.
