Book Refund Policy
The student must bring the sales receipt to the Bookstore within one week from the start of class to receive a refund. You have 30 days to return with proof of withdrawal from a class and receipt. In order to receive a full refund, the textbook must be in the same condition as when purchased. Access codes may not be used or scratched off. If all requirements are met, a refund will be issued in the original form of payment.
Book Buy-Back Policy
The College Bookstore conducts a Book Buy-Back during finals at the end of the semester. Books are bought back only if they are books that may be used in the next semester. They must be in salable condition and students must have a current ID card. We can not buyback bundles that included an access code. It is at the discretion of the College Bookstore to purchase any books.
