Textbook Refund Policies
Receipts are REQUIRED for all returns and exchanges. A $5 lookup fee will be charged for lost receipts.
Purchases made by check require 14 business days for the check to clear. After this time a credit will be posted to the student account. If the credit results in a credit balance on the student account, a refund check will be issued to the student.
Books must be purchased for the current term. The date when books become available for each new semester will be posted in our stores; self-paced open entry course books can be purchased from the first day of registration for the term.
Refunds are NOT given on textbooks with software or access codes if the software or code has been opened.
Full refund policy available in store.
