Refund Policy: New and Used Books

- To receive a 100% refund, all new books must be clean and in absolutely new condition when returned. Students should not remove any plastic covering or “shrink wrap” from books nor should they write in or make any notations within the books until they are absolutely positive they will keep the purchase.
- A 75% refund will be given to students who return new books if the plastic covering or “shrink wrap” has been removed, or if the books have been written in or are not clean and in absolutely new condition.
- A 100% refund will be given to students who return used books, with register receipt, no later than the tenth class day (14 calendar days) into the fall or spring semester, and the fourth class day into the summer terms if those books are in the same condition as when purchased.
