Renting Textbooks

The bookstore rents publisher-approved rental textbooks at less than 50% of the retail price. The list of available rental textbooks is subject to change.

Please be aware of the following rental conditions:

• You can rent textbooks in-store or online using cash, credit card, or Financial Aid Bookstore Credit as appropriate. In addition to making your rental payment, you must provide a valid credit card number which will remain securely on file for future rental transactions.
• You can neatly highlight and mark in a rental textbook as long as it remains in sellable condition.
• If you decide to purchase your rental textbook, you must do so during the first two weeks of classes to avoid additional fees.
• You must return all rental textbooks, either in person or by mail (insured shipping is recommended), to the bookstore location from which you rented them by the last day of exams in order to avoid replacement fees.
• If you decide to purchase the rental textbook after the first two weeks of classes or if you do not return the rental textbook by the last day of exams, your credit card will be charged 75% of the new book price plus a 7.5% processing fee.

Financial Aid Bookstore Credit

Financial Aid Bookstore Credit is available for qualified students. Bookstore Credit must be active before being used as payment for purchases in the bookstore or online. To learn how to check your Financial Aid Bookstore Credit status, visit the Financial Aid website.

Students making purchases with Bookstore Credit in the bookstore must present their Lion Card for identification purposes. Students picking up online orders paid with Bookstore Credit must also present their Lion Card for identification.
