Resale of College Books and Supplies

Textbooks sent to the College or to individual faculty members are intended to encourage the use of that book in the classroom or for reference. Textbooks are not sent as an item for later resale for personal gain.

A textbook received as “a complimentary copy” should be reviewed for possible classroom use, and then used by the instructor if it becomes the text for a given class.

Complimentary textbooks not chosen for classroom use, or those which are no longer in use, should be retained in the departmental or college library for reference; loaned to a needy student when appropriate; donated to TRIO; or donated to a student organization for fundraising. It is also acceptable to use these items for end of program student awards.

A loaned textbook should be returned to the instructor at the completion of its usage and not sold or given away.
