Bookstore 
UAS Ketchikan students must order textbooks from MBS Direct or the bookstore of their choice. We do not mail textbooks. Juneau courses with a section number of JD1 or UJ1 and Sitka courses with a section number of UT1 or TD1 also use the MBS Direct Bookstore. Orders can be placed by phone, mail, or online. Students should place their orders early (generally 7 to 10 days before class starts) to allow time for shipping.
