Book and copy material allowances (in the form of book slips) are awarded to students with athletic book scholarships. Please check the following guidelines before using a book slip. You are encouraged to purchase used books whenever possible to stay within your allocated budget.

The Athletic Department will cover ONLY THE COST OF ACTUAL REQUIRED COURSE-RELATED BOOKS AND SUPPLIES. This includes:

  • Required textbooks
  • Required course printed materials available at copy centers (on or off campus)
  • Mandatory course supplies and required field trip costs up to $150.00 a year. To be reimbursed for these items, see the Financial Aid Coordinator, Robin Chang.
Tapes of any kind (music, foreign language, etc.) and lecture notes are NOT COVERED in the book allowance.

Purchasing Books at the University Bookstore

  • Required books can be picked up in the textbook department at the special accounts register a week prior to the first day of classes. Individual packets for each student will be prepared according to registration schedules. Students must be registered for at least 12 credits before book slips can be issued. If your schedule changes during this time, inform Suzanne Anderson (Graves 200A, suzy@u.washington.edu) and she will make arrangements with the Bookstore. You must confirm that the courses listed are correct before leaving the Bookstore. If you change your schedule in the two week period before classes begin and fail to update Suzanne, the books for your new classes will not be included in the packet.
  • If classes change after the purchase of books, the original books must be returned to the Bookstore before new books can be purchased. The Bookstore will issue a receipt for the return, which must be turned over to Suzanne Anderson for a new book slip.
  • Book slips are kept on file at the Bookstore for six weeks. After the sixth week, required books which have not yet been picked up will be re-shelved. If a new class is added this late in the quarter, a purple book slip is then required from Suzanne’s office. 
  • If you need additional books during the quarter or if a book is on backorder, these may also be picked up at the special accounts register.
  • Books may NOT be returned to the buy-back section until the end of the quarter.
  • There will be no replacements for lost or early returned books.

Purchasing Copy Materials at Copy Centers on Campus
On-campus copy centers carry a list of authorized student-athletes who may purchase copy materials. These materials will be charged to the Athletic Department if you present a pictured ID and complete a Photocopy Work Request Form (available at the copy center). 

Purchasing Copy Materials at Copy Centers off Campus
Course materials available at copy centers such as Mecca, Kinko's, and Professional Copy & Print will be reimbursed by Student-Athlete Academic Services. Please provide Suzanne Anderson with a completed Reimbursement Form (available in SAAS) and a receipt from the copy center.  The receipt MUST be imprinted with the name of the copy center.
