NEW BOOKSTORE SPRING 2023

Central Penn students use the HACC (Harrisburg Area Community College) online bookstore to order books.

You can choose to pickup books:

1) at HACC's physical bookstore

2) at the Central Penn Library (on the CPC campus)

3) have them shipped to your home

 

If you have questions about the ordering process or have HACC Bookstore account issues contact HACC directly.

For example,

  • Your student ID is coming back as invalid when you try to order in the online bookstore.
  • You do not see your class as an option on the website.
  • The book you want is not in stock.

Email Bookstore@hacc.edu or call 717-780-2509.

 

Any other textbook questions should be directed to Dr. Jared Rife (associate provost) jaredrife@centralpenn.edu or 717-728-2291.
