How much do I save when I rent textbooks?

You can save up to 50% off a new textbook price and up to 30% on a used textbook price.

Can I use Financial Aid?

Yes!

Can I use my employee discount on rentals?

No, the discount only applies to purchases.

Why do you need my credit card if I pay another way?

We will keep your credit card on file just in case there is a problem with your return.

Can I highlight or write in a rented textbook?

Yes! Normal use of highlighting and writing is permitted.

When do I need to return my rented textbook?

The due date for returning rentals is the last day of the semester. The date will be posted in the bookstore and printed on your sales receipt and rental reminder sticker.

Can I ship my book back?

Yes, rentals can be shipped back to the Bookstore. Rentals that are shipped back must be postmarked by the due date. If mailing on the due date, please call the bookstore (307-778-1114) to alert them so they will not process any late fees on your card.

What if I drop the class?

The refund policy for a drop/add is the same for rental and purchased textbooks.

Can I decide to keep my book?

Yes! You can convert your rental to a purchase anytime before the due date.  Please let the bookstore know and plan on paying the difference in price between the purchase price and what you've already paid for the rental.

Will I save more when I rent than if I were to buy and sell the book back?

With rentals, you know what your costs are. With buying and selling back the books, you may save more in the end, but buyback prices are based off of what demands are for the following semester. If you have further concerns, email us or stop in to talk with us.
