Buyback


The bookstore will buy back textbooks at the end of each semester (fall, spring, summer). Dates to be announced. No receipt is required.

Summer buyback begins June 2.

  • The Buyback list consists of those titles which have been selected by faculty for continued use for each term.
  • Textbooks on the Buyback list will be bought back for up to ½ the price of a new copy.
  • If we cannot buy back your textbook, it may be for one of the following reasons:
    • The instructor has requested a different book than was used last semester
    • The course has been dropped from the curriculum for the next semester
    • We already have a full quota of books for the course
    • The publisher has advised us of a forthcoming new edition
    • The textbook has gone out of print
    • The textbook is in poor condition (water damage, etc.)
    • The course is offered only once a year or every other year
    • We have not received a request from faculty to provide the book
    • We cannot buy back tapes, computer software, or workbooks
    • Note: As a courtesy to students, the bookstore will provide for a used book wholesaler, College Book Co., to make you an offer on most of the books the bookstore cannot buy.
