A Campus Store That Works for Students
For more than a century, The Duck Store has been a hub of the UO experience. Whether they're buying books before a term begins, working a part-time job between classes or repping the store on campus, we put Oregon students at the center of everything we do.

How We Source Course Materials
Textbooks and supplies can add thousands of dollars to the cost of higher education. That's why we work to keep course materials affordable, starting with how we source them.
Once we receive course material lists from faculty members, we look for lower-cost digital and used books first, then offer students up to 30% off those materials. Sometimes new textbooks are the only option. In those instances, we automatically take 5% off the publisher’s list price.
Our job is to provide students with the right materials at the beginning of the term for the best possible price.
33%
At The Duck Store, the average cost of course materials fell by 33% between fall 2019 and fall 2024.
Giving Back Through Duck Store Rewards
Lower-cost course materials aren't the only way we help students save money. Our rewards program gives back to members every year.
The program is free to join, and members earn one point for every dollar spent, including on course materials. Members who earn at least 200 points between January and December receive 5% of their annual purchases back as credit, which can be used on anything in the store.
Since 2020, we have returned more than $1.4 million in credit to over 180,000 rewards members.

Student Leaders
Eight of the 11 seats on our board of directors are reserved for students, giving them a rare opportunity to set the direction of a non-profit organization. Along the way, they gain valuable experience in non-profit governance and operations.
