Bookstore, Student IDs and Dining Facilities

Bookstore

CCRI’s bookstores are operated by vendor partner Barnes and Noble College, and are located on the Knight, Flanagan, and Liston campuses.  For course materials, school supplies, merchandise and information, please visit the CCRI Bookstore website. At the bookstore, students are able to purchase resources to assist them each semester including books, gear, and other merchandise such as RIPTA bus passes. The bookstore is the only place where student financial aid is accepted at the start of every semester.

Course Materials

Textbooks, eBooks, access codes and science lab kits are all available through the bookstore, as well as the website.  Materials can be shipped to a student’s home or packed at campus of choice for in-store pick-up.  During regular semesters, the online shopping portal opens about three weeks prior to the start of classes.  The student financial aid timeframe is generally two weeks before the start of classes through the first two weeks of classes.  The financial aid office sets the dates for the financial aid periods.

School Supplies

Students may purchase a wide variety of school supplies at all campus bookstores.  Financial aid funds cover most school supplies during the regular financial aid period at the start of each semester.  For any questions regarding what is covered, bookstore staff is happy to assist.

Gear

CCRI Gear including cups and mugs, diploma frames, lanyards, t-shirts, sweatshirts, water bottles and other gift items can be purchased at all bookstores.

Dining Facilities

The college contracts with an outside vendor to operate dining services and vending services on each campus. Menus for each campus can be found at the CCRI Dining Services website and catering can be ordered through the Dining Services website.
