Under certain circumstances it may be necessary for a student to return a textbook before or after classes begin. Normally these circumstances would result from either a student’s total withdrawal from college, dropping a class, or by the college canceling a class. Students should be aware of the following guidelines when requesting a refund for textbooks:

1. It is the student’s responsibility to assist in the selection of textbooks by bringing their current class schedule with them to the bookstore. Students should keep their bookstore receipts until the end of the semester or until the bookstore repurchases the books. Receipts must accompany any returned book.

2. A completed “Withdrawal or Course Change Form” and the textbook must be presented to the bookstore manager for consideration of a textbook refund.

3. The bookstore manager has the authorization to refuse or to reduce the repurchase price for any book that is torn, worn, abused, or not needed for the course in subsequent semesters.
