Multimedia software is also installed. Students can access the Internet, printing, photocopying and scanning services.

Bookshop

We have two bookshops, one located in the Library at the Geraldton Campus and the other located at the Northam campus.

The Bookshops stock the textbooks required for many courses and some stationery items. They are open every term day.

All textbooks are required to be paid in full at the time of purchase.  Refunds only apply if the book is in the same condition as when sold (not marked or damaged) and is still a current edition.

The Bookshop does not buy or sell second hand books. Students can check campus notice boards for any second hand book sales. 

Both Bookshops are open from Monday - Friday 8.30 am to 4.30 pm during school terms.  Outside of these hours is by appointment only.

For more information contact 1800 672 700 to be directed to your closest Bookshop or email bookshop@crtafe.wa.edu.au
