Bookstore/Textbooks

The Bookstore provides students with all of the required textbooks and whenever possible, used and rental textbooks are made available. A credit card and ID are required to rent textbooks.

Because the beginning of the semester is a very busy time, we encourage you to ask the person at the service desk for help if you cannot find a required textbook. Generally, if a book-tag is not posted, your course does not require a textbook. However, if a tag is on the shelf, but the text is missing, it is possible that we may have run out of the book. We also encourage early registration. Textbooks are purchased primarily based upon registration.

Textbook buyback is offered daily in the Bookstore. Buy back will end two weeks before the start of the semester and begin again two weeks after the start of the new semester.

The Bookstore offers a wide variety of branded apparel, hats, glassware and various other gift items. 

We are able to provide the student with a range of school supplies.

The return policy is posted in the Bookstore behind the service area and at the entrance and exit to the store. Students are expected to be familiar with the return policies. Copies of the policies are available at the service desk and on the Bookstore website. Please remember to maintain a copy of your sales receipt for your textbooks.

SPECIAL NOTE: The Bookstore is closed for some holidays and to conduct an annual inventory each June. Please call the store if you are not sure we are open. Information regarding special circumstances is made public through various college publications and at the Bookstore. If you call and do not get an answer, please leave a message on our voice mail and we will return your call as soon as we are able. In the event of an emergency, the Bookstore adheres to all college closings. Information will be posted on our Facebook and web pages.

Helpful hints when shopping for required texts at the bookstore

• Please bring your class schedule with you! All of the required texts are arranged alphabetically according to the course code number on your class schedule.

• Please keep your sales receipt. Refunds are not issued on any textbook unless proper proof of purchase and an ADD/DROP slip are provided to Bookstore personnel.

• If you can’t find it, ask us! If we are out of the textbook you need, please tell the person at the service desk. “Outs” are replaced within 48 hours if stock is available at the publisher.

• Be sure you are buying the correct textbook(s). Please, take the time to read the shelf tag. If you are unsure about a textbook, do not purchase the book. You will save time and money by avoiding unnecessary purchases.

• Please, do not write in your book until you have decided to continue taking the course. Textbooks cannot be fully refunded if damage has occurred. Once you have decided to follow through with a class, please put your name in your textbook. Report any stolen book to the Bookstore and Campus Safety.
