BUYBACK POLICY

Book Buyback is held twice a year:during finals at the end of fall and spring semesters. The next buyback dates are:

• December 13-16, 2010; Fall 
• May 16-19, 2011; Spring

Prices are paid as follows:

• If the text is needed by the bookstore for the upcoming semester, you will be paid 50% of the new price whether the book was purchased new or used, up to the limit needed for the next term.
• If the text is not needed here for the next term, but is still a current edition, you will be paid the price set by the used book company.
• Prices paid are always based on the bookstore’s need for resale.Students get the most money for their books at the beginning of buyback, when the bookstore knows which books the instructors have selected for the upcoming term & limits have not been met.

SELL YOUR BOOKS EARLY AS QUANTITIES OF BOOKS PURCHASED AT HALF PRICE MAY BE LIMITED. Study guides, lab manuals and workbooks usually are not returnable. The bookstore may refuse to purchase any book because of it’s condition. Books replaced by a new edition usually have no value.

Note: Publishers determine the prices of books, not the bookstore. Instructors select which books are required, not the bookstore.
