Need gifts for special events, awards, donors or colleagues?
Special order items available at a 20% UC department discount when purchased in bulk. Call 513-556-1700 or send a request to bookstore@uc.edu.
* Present your UC ID at checkout to receive your discount. Beginning July 1, minor changes were made to the faculty/staff 15% discount. Rather than stacking the 15% discount on top of a sale or clearance price, the item will be discounted at the higher rate. For example, a sweatshirt marked down 25% would be rung in at the sale price; or on the other end, a gift item marked down 10% would be given the 15% discount. Excludes course materials, computer hardware and software, Apple products, gift cards, and purchases at campus convenience stores.
