Textbooks, supplies and tools may be charged against financial aid. A class schedule and student ID card is required to charge. No clothing or gifts (with the exception of backpacks) can be charged against financial aid.
A cash receipt is required for all refunds.
• Textbooks - A full refund is available within three weeks from the first day of class during the first and second eight weeks with cash register receipt. New books must be in new and unmarked condition for a full refund. Exceptions are workbooks, spiral and texts with CDs, discs or access codes.
After the three-week refund period, a national book wholesaler price will be offered until the week of book buy-back. A book purchased after the three-week refund period is returnable within two days with cash register receipt.
During the summer sessions, refunds will be given within five days from the first day of class or within two days if purchased thereafter, with the exception of short sessions.
The bookstore will buy back books on the final test days of each semester for cash. If the following semester the book is current, in good condition and we have a commitment for its use, we will offer, on needed quantities, 50 percent of the new list price whether purchased originally as a new or used book. We will offer for other books the price established by a national book wholesaler.
Books for all semesters will be purchased at the final buy back in May, if they are current editions and still on the required text list.
Daily buy back quotes available.
Textbooks are a big investment. Treat them as valuables. As soon as you have checked to make certain you have the correct titles for your courses, mark them in some way so that you can identify them. If they are lost or stolen, report it to the Bookstore Manager or Textbook Supervisor and Campus Police. Everything possible will be done to help you recover it.
• Clothing and Gifts - A full refund is available up to two weeks from date of purchase with cash register receipt. No refunds offered on clearance items.
• Tools - Returns on tool sets purchased through the bookstore have to be complete sets in original packaging, unmarked and need cash register receipt to get a refund. Special order tools will require a $20 non-refundable deposit.
