Book Charge Period

Each semester students receiving financial assistance are eligible to charge books at the bookstore to their account if they have funds remaining after tuition is deducted from the awarded amount.

Two Quick Tips

  • Always bring in your schedule when it's time to purchase books. Instructors for internet class sections will use different texts; we want you to get the right book the first time.
  • Purchasing with financial aid? You must have a valid photo ID.

Book Buyback

If the bookstore is using the book again for the upcoming semester, we will buy that book for 50% of the purchase price. This event occurs every semester during the week of finals. Stop by the bookstore and let us give you cash for your textbooks!

Textbook rentals

If you choose to rent a book, you will need a major credit card for security purposes. However, financial aid can be used to pay for those rentals.

The book is due back during Finals Week. Textbooks can be written or highlighted in. When returning your textbook rentals, be sure there is no water damage or missing pages. You will be charged a replacement/damage fee if the textbook has missing pages or water damage.
