More than a bookstore

The ΢Ȧ Shop is the official campus store of ΢Ȧ College. Located in Case Center and online at ΢ȦShop.com, the Shop provides course materials, ΢Ȧ-branded merchandise, Commencement regalia, department orders, and support for campus events.

As part of the Office of Communications and Marketing, the ΢Ȧ Shop works with campus departments to select merchandise and products that reflect ΢Ȧ’s brand and visual identity.

Course materials

The ΢Ȧ Shop sources materials faculty request for their courses and sells them to students, prioritizing affordability over profit. 

For faculty:

Faculty should submit course material lists as early as possible to ensure the most affordable options can be sourced.

For students:

Branded merchandise and department orders

The ΢Ȧ Shop helps departments order ΢Ȧ-branded merchandise, giveaways, promotional items, thank-you gifts, apparel, and event materials.

The Shop can assist with product selection, vendor coordination, ordering, and brand alignment. Departments should work with the Shop before ordering ΢Ȧ-branded items independently to help ensure quality, consistency, appropriate logo use, and alignment with College standards.

College business discount

Departmental purchases receive a 15% College business discount in addition to being tax-exempt. This discount applies only to purchases made for official College business and does not apply to personal purchases made by individual employees.

Pop-up shop requests

Departments may request a ΢Ȧ Shop pop-up for campus events when branded merchandise or retail sales would enhance the event experience.

Pop-ups require advance planning and are reviewed based on timing, location, staffing, inventory, and expected audience. Pop-ups must generate enough net revenue to cover staffing from setup through breakdown. If revenue does not cover staffing costs, the requesting department will be billed.
