Faculty Clicker Orders:
In order to assure that clickers are on the shelves for the first day of class, instructors should place an order with the UC San Diego Bookstore no later than 1 to 2 weeks prior to the beginning of each quarter. Same day requests can be accommodated, depending on stock at hand.
Student Clicker Purchase:
Clickers are available adjacent to the textbook info counter in the Bookstore, or can be purchased new or used online. (When used clickers are purchased, if the instructor does not use Canvas the student will need to pay iClicker a used-clicker registration fee).
Clicker Sell-Back:
Students may sell their used clicker back to the Bookstore if the Bookstore needs extras, which is usually the case.
