Operated by College Bookstores of America, the bookstore is located on the third floor of the Balsam Center and carries both new and used textbooks and a variety of school supplies. Textbooks are shelved alphabetically by course number with tags indicating the course for which each text is required. The staff will help you select books and materials for your classes, or you may browse at your leisure. When entering the bookstore, all packages or books must be placed in the storage area provided. Personal school supplies may not be carried into the bookstore.

Textbook refunds will be made during the drop-add period or within 24 hours of purchase so long as the following conditions are met: Books must be accompanied by the receipt; a book must be unsoiled, unmarked and in resalable condition; any book accompanied with software or CDs must be in original condition; and any book wrapped in manufacturer's shrink-wrap must be unopened to obtain a refund. The bookstore will buy back textbooks according to procedures posted in the bookstore.

In addition to textbooks, the bookstore carries art and drafting materials, reference books, school supplies, greeting cards, graduation caps and gowns, class rings and college insignia sportswear. Regular bookstore hours are posted each semester at the bookstore entrance. On each registration day and during the drop-add period, bookstore hours coincide with the Business Office hours and will be posted in the bookstore.

Book Buy-Back Policy:

You may sell your books back to the store at any time during the year. However, the best time to sell your books is at the end of the semester during the designated "buyback days." The reason is quite simple: when the faculty informs us which books they will use during the upcoming semester, we will pay ½ of the purchase price for those books until the predetermined need is met. After the need for the following semester is met, we will begin paying the current price a wholesale company will pay us for the book.

Buyback days are held the last two weeks of spring and fall semesters.

(*See factors which may affect the 'cash back' price of your book)

Refund Policy:

You may return textbooks within the drop/add period or within 24 hours of purchase so long as the following conditions are met:

  • Books must be accompanied by the receipt
  • Books must be unsoiled, unmarked and in resalable condition
  • Books that are accompanied with software or CDs must be in original condition
  • Books with manufacturer's shrink-wrap must be unopened
