When can we start purchasing course material from titles? Could I just walk in on Mon Sep 06 and buy the books I want?

Thanks

Anytime today during operating hours, and after Labour Day - Sept 7. Monday is Labour Day, a civic holiday. School is closed on Monday.

Does this include used books?

Yeah. Go there as quick as you can, used books are becoming a hot commodity.

Thanks =D

I didn't find many used books and I would recommend checking on MacInsiders, Kijiji.ca and Craigslist before buying used at Titles. You can sometimes get even 50% off. On MacInsiders, check at the Marketplace. Also consider the Used Bookstore at the basement of the Student Centre - Undercovers

Buying from other students is the best way to get a great deal on used books. I scored a few of my textbooks from other students last year and saved a nice chunk of cash. Check Facebook marketplace as well as the MacInsiders marketplace. Also on the Titles website they have a classifieds section. You can search for a book you are looking for and see if any Mac students are selling theirs. Their price and e-mail will be listed and you can e-mail them to set up a time to meet and purchase their book. You can probably even negotiate a lower price than the one they have listed on the Titles site if they've been holding on to it for a while and are looking to unload it for some quick cash. I bought a book this way last year successfully.

Also the Titles website will tell you if they have any used copies of the course material you are looking for before you go into the store.
