Does the University of Toronto Bookstore Sell Medical Equipment and School or Office Supplies?

Updated

Yes. The University of Toronto Bookstore site carries both a Medical section (medical texts and equipment) and a Supplies & Equipment section that covers school and office supplies, including agendas and planners, writing supplies, paper, and folders and filing. It also lists software and licenses for departments. Availability of specific items is not shown in the site information provided, so treat the categories below as the map of what to look for rather than a stock guarantee.

What falls under Medical

The Medical area is listed alongside course materials and textbooks, and the site description explicitly names "Medical Texts and Equipment" as part of what it sells. In practice that means two different kinds of purchases:

  • Medical texts — books tied to medical coursework and reference.
  • Medical equipment — the equipment category listed under the Medical heading.

If you are shopping for a course, check whether the item is a required text or a piece of equipment, because the two are handled as separate categories on the site.

What falls under Supplies & Equipment

The Supplies & Equipment section is organized into these subcategories:

Subcategory What it covers
School & Office Supplies General school and office items
Agendas & Planners Dated and undated planners
Writing Supplies Pens, pencils, and similar
Paper Paper products
Folders & Filing Folders and filing supplies
Software Software and licenses for departments

Note the distinction in that last row: software is listed as Software & Licenses for Departments, which suggests it is aimed at departmental purchasing rather than individual students. If you are buying for yourself, confirm whether a given license is available to you before ordering.

How to check a specific item

  1. Go to the Bookstore site and open the Medical section for equipment and medical texts, or Supplies & Equipment for school and office items.
  2. Use the subcategory list (Agendas & Planners, Writing Supplies, Paper, Folders & Filing) to narrow down rather than browsing everything.
  3. For course-related medical texts, start from Textbooks & Course Materials instead, since that section is built around finding materials for a specific course.
  4. Check the item page for price, format, and availability — the site information provided does not include pricing or stock details, so those have to be confirmed on the page itself.

Related services worth knowing
