Books
Centenary's bookstore is located in the lower level of the Seay building in the area known as the "sunken lounge." It is part of the Follet national chain and is also accessible online. When you go into the bookstore you will notice there are tags in front of the books. Match your course name to the tag and your books will be directly behind it. There are often used copies but they go fast!
Changing your class schedule
You will need an Add/Drop form from the Registrar's office. Fill it out and have your advisor sign it. Return it to the registrar and you should be done!
The Add/Drop form is also available on line here.
