Where is the Bookstore located?
We are on the first floor of the E.C. Hunt Campus Center (round building).

What is the difference between a refund and book buy back?
A refund is giving full purchase price for a textbook that has been purchased and returned within the specified time limit and condition at the beginning of a term.  Book buyback is when the Bookstore pays cash for current edition textbooks at the end of each term.

When is the best time to sell back books?
During "Book Buy Back Week," when we have compiled a list of textbooks being used the next semester, we offer up to 50% of the new list price.  Wholesale prices are given by private companies that buy books no longer used on this campus for resale to other bookstores.

How does the Bookstore determine what books are being used?
We send textbook requisition forms to faculty for each course being offered. They are to list books that they will require or have as optional for the next semester.

What is a "required" textbook?
A required textbook is a book from which the instructor gives reading assignments and tests.

What is an "optional" text?
Optional means that it is recommended. You do not have to purchase the book, but it may be helpful in class.

Why is the Bookstore out of textbooks that are required?
There are several reasons we may run out of a book. Enrollment may be larger than estimated, books may not be available from the publisher or textbook selection information has not yet been received from the instructor.
