Sell your books back at the end of the semester.

Payment Options
The Bookstore accepts cash, personal checks, MasterCard, Visa and Discover Cards for payment. Customers must show photo ID and provide both their student ID ("A") number and phone number when paying by check or using a parent's credit card.
Many of our students receive some type of student financial aid, which allows books to be charged at the Bookstore. These programs include Pell, Vesid, Veterans, and employer sponsorship. It is important that this paperwork be processed well in advance of the start of the semester. Check with the authorizing agency to confirm your eligibility. Authorized students will be able to charge using financial aid at the start of each semester. Once received by the Bookstore, authorizations take a minimum of one business day of processing prior to a student being able to charge. Talk to the staff at the Bookstore to learn the procedure for charging when authorizations are in place.
Sticker Shock
Have you ever bought textbooks before? If not, prepare for sticker shock.
High school textbooks are paid for through tax dollars. Having never paid directly for textbooks before, students first entering college may be surprised by their cost.
Textbooks are expensive but they are an important tool in working toward academic success. Depending on discipline and requirements, prices of textbooks and textbook bundles may range from the very inexpensive $1-9.99 paperback to mid-range books and bundles that are $90-120 to those that cost $160-200 or more.
Study Aids
Looking for a little additional help? Study guides, solutions manuals, tutorials and reference books are available at the Bookstore. If you don't see what you're looking for, we'll be glad to place a special order.
