Book Purchases 

You can purchase your books online at Bookstore SLC. All transactions must be completed using a credit card, as dual debit-credit cards are not supported. Be sure to keep a copy of your email receipt, as you’ll need it when picking up your books.

Book Pickup 

Your order will be ready for pickup at the St. Lawrence bookstore (room 294) two business days after it’s placed. If you’re unable to collect it yourself, someone else can pick it up for you, as long as they have a copy of your receipt.

Book Availability 

Only books that are currently in our inventory can be purchased. If you see “NA” next to a book on your list, it means the book is not yet available, and its arrival date is unknown. You’ll need to purchase it at a later date.

Vouchers 

If you have a voucher, you may use the voucher number online. For more details about vouchers, visit room 201.

Refunds & Exchanges 

To receive a refund, you must provide the original receipt, either in paper or digital format.

Ordering Your OPUS Card

In Fall 2025, St. Lawrence students will have access to a discounted RTC pass at a cost of $210. The student pass will be valid for 17 weeks from the first time it is used. You can buy your pass at the Centre d’information at 820 Ernest Gagnon.

You will need proof of full-time student status to get your pass, so make sure to have your digital student card handy (in the Omnivox app)! Note that this student card will only indicate your status once your schedule has been created and sent to you in August.

If you already have an active OPUS card, please ensure that the card will not expire before your St. Lawrence pass. Note that an OPUS card expires after 4 years. If you have an active OPUS card and will be 18 years or under until September 30th, 2025, you do not need to renew your student status each year. If you are 19 years of age or older, your student status expires every year and must be renewed at a cost of $5. Make sure to bring your OPUS card with you to buy your pass, so that it can be directly loaded onto your card.

If you do not already have an active OPUS card, you can buy one at a cost of $15 when you get your student pass.

Any items left behind will not be kept, and the school is not responsible for locker contents. Be sure to clear out your belongings on time to avoid losing them!
