TEXTBOOK REFUND POLICY  

Spring 2010

REFUNDS:  The last day for a full refund for Spring Semester is JANUARY 25th. 

The return period for SPRING semester is the first 10 days of the term.  Texts for classes meeting less than 5 weeks are usually non returnable unless the class is cancelled. No refunds are given for reference books.  Course books purchased by people not enrolled in that class are considered reference books, along with study guides, lab manuals and workbooks. DO NOT open/unwrap book  bundles until you are sure you are taking the class. Original shrink-wrap must be in place for returns.

Full refunds are given if:

• You have your receipt.  This is REQUIRED.
• Books must be returned within 10 days from the first day of the term.
• Books must be in new condition. No marks, writing, highlighting, bent pages or corners, original shrink-wrap must be intact.
• Used books are not returnable beginning the first day of the semester.

 Note:  You may be required to present your class schedule.

BUYBACK POLICY

• Book Buyback is held twice a year:  during finals at the end of fall and spring semesters.
• The next buyback dates are:    May 17-20, 2010  Spring
                                                       December 2010  Fall

 Prices are paid as follows:

1.     If the text is needed by the bookstore for the upcoming semester, you will be paid 50% of the new price whether the book was purchased new or used, up to the limit needed for the next term.

2.     If the text will not be used here for the next term, but is still a current edition, you will be paid the price set by the used book company.

3.     Prices paid are ALWAYS based on the bookstore’s need for resale.  Students get the most money for their books at the end of the semester, when the bookstore knows which books the instructors will be using for the upcoming term.

SELL YOUR BOOKS EARLY AS QUANTITIES OF BOOKS PURCHASED AT HALF PRICE MAY BE LIMITED.  Study guides, lab manuals & workbooks usually have no value.  Books replaced by a new edition usually have no value. The bookstore may refuse to purchase any book because of its condition.

 Note:  Publishers determine the prices of books, not the bookstore.  Instructors select which books are required, not the bookstore
