Bookstore
How do I know what book I need for class?
The departments and instructors tell the bookstore what books are needed for the classes they teach. Bring your class schedule to the Bookstore and we will assist you in the process of selecting and purchasing your books for the term.
Do you have used books?
Yes, there are used books available for many of the classes. Some courses may use a textbook that has gone to a new edition; therefore, there will not be a used book for those courses.
Will I be able to sell this book at the end of the term?
Yes. Books reselected by the departments to be the textbook for the next term are eligible to resell to the bookstore if they are in good, clean condition. The Bookstore “buy back” is at the end of each semester during finals. You must have a Bookstore receipt and photo ID to resell books. The buy back list is posted on the Bookstore webpage.
Can I return this book if I don't need it?
Yes. You may return it with your receipt anytime during the posted drop/add period. Some books are sold in sealed plastic or shrink wrapped packaging. If packaging is opened, books cannot be returned. Unwrapped books must be returned unused.
When is the last day I can use my financial aid to purchase books?
The date is determined by the Financial Aid office. It is usually two weeks from the first day of class.
