Buyback FAQ
Finals Week (May 20-24) is your best time to sell books back to the Bookstore!
In-Store Textbook buyback is offered year-round, although the best time to sell your books back is during finals week. Our policy is to buy every book we can, offering you as much as we can. We hope the following information will explain how the buyback process works.
1. A valid photo ID and Student ID number is required for selling back textbooks. No exceptions. We will not accept social security numbers.
2. Books that have been ordered by professors for the next term and are needed for store inventory (see #3 below) will be bought by the Bookstore at up to 50% of the Used price during the end of term buybacks (Textbooks needed for the Spring term are purchased during finals week in December. Textbooks needed for the summer and fall terms are purchased during finals week in May).
3. The quantity of books needed for any given class varies from term to term. The Bookstore will only buyback the quantity needed for the upcoming term.
4. A wholesale value, if one exists, will be offered for books not needed by the bookstore. The wholesale value is determined by the used book wholesale company's need, which is based on the national demand for each book.
5. Some books, such as books that have been replaced with a new edition, no longer have resale value and cannot be purchased.
6. Damaged books, or books in poor condition will not be bought. This includes books with missing or loose pages, missing CDs, broken bindings, water damage or excessive writing.
7. Professors determine which books are used for classes and are responsible for notifying the Bookstore of their book selections in a timely fashion. The Bookstore can only work with the information we have at buyback time.
8. Before selling your book to us, please ensure that you do not need/want to keep it for any reason. After the buyback transaction is completed, we cannot reverse it for you.
Please note: Daily Buyback hours vary slightly from store hours. See the "Store Hours" page for buyback hours of operation.
