News and Announcements
On-campus bookstore reopens, start ordering books now
SFCC’s on-campus bookstore reopened on July 25, under the operation of Barnes & Noble College.
The on-campus bookstore will offer textbooks, course materials, notebooks, pens, and other office and school supplies – as well as snacks and drinks!
The bookstore will be open from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Monday- Friday during the summer. Fall bookstore hours will be announced soon.
Near the end of each term, students will have an opportunity to sell books back and return rental books at the bookstore or through mail.
Students can begin ordering books at the new bookstore website http://sfcc.bncollege.com and select free on-campus pick-up.
Students can also select several shipping methods. Additionally, students can go directly to the on-campus store to buy books off the shelf at the new on campus store.
Please be patient as Barnes and Noble College Bookstore is still stocking up on books and so there might be limited inventory at this early stage.
Students can email SM8475@bncollege.com to see if a book is in stock or with any other bookstore-related questions. BNC will continuously be receiving deliveries and expects to have all books available in the store by the start of classes. Students can order books either as a “guest” or they can “sign up/create account” on the bookstore website. The benefit to creating an account is that the order history will be saved.
For questions or additional assistance please email SM8475@bncollege.com
An Important Note on Using Financial Aid for Purchases
Financial Aid purchases are available beginning on August 8, 2022.
Students receiving Financial Aid should wait until their aid is available before purchasing books. However, if students purchase books out of pocket and later become eligible for aid, they can be reimbursed through disbursement provided their aid is authorized and the award is enough to cover the purchase. Financial aid accounts are open through September 7, 2022. More financial aid information is available at the SFCC Financial Aid Office.

Film Program student Rob Tode, a SAG-AFTRA and Broadway Equity Actor, came to SFCC to learn more about directing film and TV.

In Memoriam: Paul Alan Lewis
SFCC extends condolences to the family, friends and colleagues of Paul Alan Lewis who passed away on July 5 at the age of 72. Paul Alan Lewis taught at the college from March 2007 to March 2019 in the Fine Arts department. He was beloved by his students and colleagues.
It stated in his obituary, “Paul also spent many years at the Santa Fe Community College, first as a student in the photography program, and then as an instructor for mold making and bronze casting in the sculpture program. According to his students, Paul was a generous teacher, sharing his experience in mold-making, chasing, and patina work as long as his students were serious about undertaking their own work with the same devotion as he had. If not, his snarky sense of humor could put you right in your place. Many of Paul’s students returned to take his courses again and again and grew from students, to clients, to dear friends.”
Sculptor faculty member John Boyce shared, “I first met Paul when I was working for Dwight Hacket. He was the go-to person for doing patination on sculpture. I would say that he was one of the three best artists for doing bronze patina that I have known, fantastically gifted. He worked for me here at SFCC for many years teaching Bronze casting (he was a master of Bronze Casting). He also taught mold making for sculptors and here once again he was an exceptional mold maker. He was also a great teacher with the patience and generosity required to be a great teacher. He will be missed by his students and by his co-workers here at SFCC.”
