Course Material ISBN and Purchasing Information

In accordance with the current HEOA requirements, APUS provides the ISBN and retail price of our texts along with information on various purchasing options and buyback programs. The ISBN and price information are provided in the course descriptions of our Schedule of Classes section of the public sites: AMU and APU. APUS cautions students about obtaining course materials from overseas sources because of the risk of delivery time and quality of the materials. Purchase decisions should not be based on the purchase price alone. In addition to the APUS Bookstore, various purchasing options are listed below. For courses using e-books, students who prefer a hardcopy text can purchase one from the bookseller of their choice.
