Textbook Rental Program

Rental books are property of the University Store.
The rental fee is only refundable if the book is returned by the posted textbook return date.
Rentals must be returned by the last day of final exams for the term it was rented -- unless otherwise stated.
Students opting to rent a textbook authorize the University Store to charge their student account if their rentals are not returned by the specified date. You will be charged the full replacement value of the book plus a $15 non-refundable late fee. This replacement cost and late fee will be in addition to the rental fee paid when the book was rented.
All rentals must be returned or accompanied by the rental customers' name, Student ID#, and email address. Rentals that are returned without the proper customer information cannot be processed and will be charged a replacement fee and a late fee.
