Textbooks are available for sale in The College Store the Monday prior to the first day of class.  Textbooks remain available for sale for 10-12 weeks from the first day of class, at which time unsold textbooks are returned to wholesalers(used books) and publishers(new books).  Students and Faculty are notified by email of the date that unsold textbooks will be returned to wholesalers and publishers.  The College Store will be glad to place a special order for any textbook needed after returns to publishers/wholesalers are completed.  Special orders after returns are made to publishers/wholesalers and not returnable and require pre-payment.

The College Store makes every effort to have 100% of required and recommended textbooks on the shelf and available for sale.  Our ability to do that is impacted by domestic vs international sources, publisher stock, current vs old editions, faculty adoption timelines, and wholesalers/publishers return policies.  If you do not see the textbook you need please see Textbook Department personnel.
