New Buyback Policy

Get bucks for your books
The bookstore has a new buyback policy. To ensure that you sell your books back at the right price, please read the following requirements:

  • We buy back your books everyday. Of course, the best time to sell your books back is right after finals.
  • We will pay you 50% of the book's newest retail selling price, if a requisition is placed for that book by the professor for the following semester.
  • If the book does not meet this criteria, the prices we pay are based on the current national demand.
  • Study guides and workbooks must be "like new" without any writing on their pages.
  • All books must be in good condition.
  • Some books have little or no monetary value. Out of print books and old editions are not in national demand and we can't buy them.
Please remember: For the protection of the students on campus, we always require those selling books to show current student identification.


Price Matching Program
If a customer has proof that a competitor is selling a textbook for less than us, we'll match that price. (Low price match is only valid if the competitor is a brick-and-mortar store in the area.) Please stop in to the Bookstore for further details.

 

Parent's Lifeline
The bookstore offers a variety of special services for the times your student needs to know that you care. The Bookstore staff is available to help you make arrangements for balloons, cakes for any occasion, flower bouquets, and small "care packages." Please call one of them at (631) 632-6553.
