Textbooks on a Budget

When purchasing textbooks from the College Bookstore, consider cheaper alternatives that are offered when you use the Search feature for your campus bookstore:

  • USED BOOKS are the same edition as the new, but previously purchased by another student; may have some notes or highlighting.
  • YOU CAN RENT NEW OR USED BOOKS for some titles. Ideal for students who want to save money and don’t want to keep the book after the class is complete. At the end of the term, books must be returned in good condition.
  • A DIGITAL, OFTEN DOWNLOADABLE version of a printed book that can be read on a computer, and in most cases on a tablet or smartphone. May include videos, audio clips, interactive models, quizzes, or allow you to take and share notes, highlight or search for keywords.
  • YOU CAN SELL YOUR GENTLY USED TEXTBOOKS BACK TO THE BOOKSTORE at the end of each semester. Visit: The Bookstore: Sell Your Textbooks.
