Completing the rental agreement signifies your commitment to returning your rental book back by the check-in date.  

Not all items are eligible to be rented.
 

The bookstore staff reserves the right to deny a rental check-in due to the condition of the textbook. Water damage, missing pages, excessive writing/highlighting of any kind may result in the Book being denied at check-in. 

Rental Check-ins are accepted both in-person and shipped at any time throughout the semester. (WE DO NOT HAVE A DROP BOX). For in-person check-ins, there will be signage posted in the bookstore to direct where to go. A shipping label is available for purchase (cost is $5) through our website. You will receive your label via email after payment is processed, this can take 24 to 48 hours. As long as the package is postmarked on or before the due date, it will be accepted. We accept shipments from any of the major companies (UPS, FEDEX, United States Postal Service, etc.).

Students can also convert their rental to a purchase, conducting a buyout. This can be done in-person or through our website. The cost of a buyout is predetermined (it is NOT equal to the difference between rental/purchase pricing).
