I like to buy my books instead of renting because I may need keep them. Why should I rent? We have a Rental+ Program, meaning the full rental price paid can be applied to the purchase price at the end of the semester if you want to keep your book. For example, if the rental price is $25 and the purchase price is $75, you would pay $50 to keep the book at the end of the semester. |
Can I rent books or packages with an access code in them? Yes, the rental price includes the purchase of the access code, and the book will need to be returned at the end of the semester. |
Can I write or highlight in my rental? Standard writing/highlighting in the book is allowed. Excessive highlighting or writing can result in the rental being deemed damaged (See question below). |
Why do I need to hold a debit/credit card on file for a rental? We require a debit/credit card to be held on file in case the rental is not returned. |
How do I return my rental? |
What if I don’t return my rental? The bookstore will charge your student Financial Aid account (OR the credit card on file) the difference in how much was paid for the rental minus the purchase price plus a $10/rental late fee. |
Did you get the books I returned? When rentals are returned, you will receive an emailed receipt showing they are returned. |
What if I need to extend my rental? We offer a 2-week rental extension for a $10 fee. If you prefer to keep the rental for a longer period of time, please contact the bookstore to pay the upcoming semester's rental fee. |
What if I want to keep my book? Please contact the bookstore to let us know that you want to keep the book. The bookstore has a Rental+ Program meaning that the full rental price paid will be applied to the purchase price if you want to keep your book. For example, if the rental price is $25 and the purchase price is $75, you would pay $50 to keep the book. |

Rental Agreement
"I will return the rented materials to this bookstore on or before the rental return date. The bookstore is not responsible for reminding me of the rental return date and is not responsible for returns that are lost or damaged in shipping. I am fully responsible for the condition of the materials rented to me and for payment of fees and replacement costs if rented materials are lost, stolen or returned in unacceptable condition. Unacceptable conditions include, but are not limited to, water damage, pages torn out, binder spine fraying or falling apart, excessive highlighting and writing on pages, and missing CD’s or other study aides. All rented materials are subject to these conditions and the Bookstore will decide what is or is not acceptable at the time the rented materials are returned.
If I fail to return the rented materials by the rental return date printed on my receipt the credit card on file with the bookstore will be charged a $10.00 late fee per book and the full retail price of the rented materials minus the amount paid for the initial rental. Retail price is based on current values at the time of replacement. If the credit card on file is declined or has been cancelled, a bill will be sent to the address on file. If this bill is not paid within 30 days, it will be turned over to a collections agency. Replacement of rental materials (exact duplicate, correct ISBN, title, author, edition, etc.) will be accepted in lieu of any damaged rental materials on or before the rental return date. The Bookstore’s refund policy applies for all rental materials.
I understand if I have an unpaid balance to The Bookstore and do not make satisfactory payment arrangements, my account may be placed with an external collection agency. I will be responsible for reimbursement of the fee of any collection agency, which may be based on a percentage at a maximum of 35% of the debt, and all costs and expenses, including reasonable collection and attorney’s fees incurred during collection efforts. If my rental is eligible to be returned to The Bookstore, I will still be liable for a service fee assessed by the external collection agency.
In order for The Bookstore or their designated external collection agency to service my account, and where not prohibited by applicable law, I agree that The Bookstore and the designated external collection agency are authorized to (i) contact me by telephone at the telephone number(s) I am providing, including wireless telephone numbers, which could result in charges to me, (ii) contact me by sending text messages (message and data rates may apply) or emails, using any email address I provide and (iii) methods of contact may include using pre-recorded/artificial voice message and/or use of an automatic dialing device, as applicable. Furthermore, I consent the designated external collection agency to share personal contact and account related information with third party vendors to communicate account related information via telephone, text, e-mail, and mail notification. I will be responsible for paying all Collection Fees assessed by the designated external collection agency.
Merchandise refunds only available within 30 days of purchase. Textbook refunds only available until the add/drop period for the semester; however, books/access cards must be in original condition and all returns subject to manager's approval.
