Prepare for semester

Textbooks

Required and recommended reading materials are listed under ‘Learning Resources’ in each electronic course profile.

UQ Library provides access to all required and recommended readings, either online or in physical format. You can access these by logging in to the Library website – they'll be listed under 'course resources' on your personalised homepage 3 weeks before the start of semester. 

You can buy brand-new textbooks from The School Locker Bookshop, which has outlets on St Lucia, Gatton and Herston campuses. Used textbooks are available at the Secondhand Bookshop.

Printed workbooks, course readers and lecture notes can be purchased from UQ Print. We recommend submitting printing requests online – there can be long waits for on-the-spot printing at the beginning of semester.

You can also try off-campus bookshops and retailers.
