The Downtown Education Center (DTEC) Bookstore stocks required textbooks and supplies for classes held at the DTEC, Adult and Continuing Education (ACE) courses, and College Preparedness and Academic Advancement Center (CPAAC) programs. Because of limited retail space, the DTEC Bookstore does not routinely stock non-required texts or items. The DTEC Bookstore sells duplicated guides and packets.
