Join the network built for campus retail.

CSC membership is open to institutionally owned university, college, polytechnic, and CEGEP bookstores — and other campus retail operations — across Canada. It means a year-round peer community, benchmarking data you can't get anywhere else, and support if you ever consider bringing your operation back in-house — plus curated partner meetings and a share of the travel bursary at our annual conference.

More than a network.
A community.

CSC transforms campus retail from a traditional business operation into a vital educational partner that enhances student success.

Member Space

Independence, Supported

  • Vetted Canadian vendor directory
