Textbook Return Policy

• Returns must be accompanied by the original receipt.
• New books, including rentals,  must be in absolutely the same condition as purchased - free of any markings, bent corners or bent spine. If shrink-wrapped when purchased, packing must be intact. Used books can be returned in the condition in which they were purchased.
• The Book Shop reserves the right to determine whether books returned are in new or used condition. 
• For fall, January, spring and summer terms, returns are allowed during the first three days of the term. The first day of the semester is considered
   Day 1.
• After the initial 3-day grace period, textbooks for a dropped course may be returned until the last day to withdraw from a full semester class without record. Returns during this time will only be accepted with the original cash register receipt and proof that you have dropped the course for the text being returned (You will need to present your current course schedule.)
• After these two grace periods, textbooks are not returnable.
• E-books are returnable within the first three days of classes OR for dropped classes, returns are allowed through the last day to withdraw from class without record. Please note: If the e-book has been accessed more than 10% OR any portion has been printed, a refund will NOT be completed.
• The Paideia 1 summer reading book and the first books read in Paideia 1 in each semester are not eligible to return.
• If you decide to purchase your rented book, you will pay the difference between the rental and purchase prices if done before the last day to withdraw from a class without record. After that date, rental purchases will be the full used price of the book.
• There are no returns for credit on rental books unless you have dropped that class and it occurs before the last day to withdraw without record.
• We recommend keeping all receipts until the end of the semester.
