Bookstore Return Policies

Textbooks

You must have the original receipt.

The book must be in like-new condition.

Shrink-wrapped books must be in their original packaging (a 5 percent restocking fee may be assessed), and any access codes must be unused to process a return.

Books must be returned within 7 calendar days from the first day of class (deadline dates are posted in the store and on all receipts).

Books can be returned with the receipt and a drop/add form through the University’s final drop/add date.

Return dates for textbook are printed at the bottom of the receipt. These dates include an overall return date deadline for the semester as well as a return date for those dropping or adding a class after the semester begins.

If you are waiting for a book to arrive in the mail, please do not buy a copy of the store to use for a week. Because some students purchase their books from other vendors, we do not buy a copy for everyone enrolled in the class. If you buy a copy to use temporarily, some students will not be able to get the book from the Bookstore when they need it.
