Textbook Purchases Students may purchase textbooks after completing the registration confirmation process, which is held in the days immediately preceding the start of the term. Bring your course schedule stamped “APPROVED” and the bookstore staff will help you gather your texts. Textbook costs range from $200 to $500 per semester, and must be paid at time of purchase. We work very hard to gather a good supply of used books and our prices are very competitive with other sources, including online sellers. Cash Discount 5% discount on all merchandise (including textbooks) when payment is made at time of purchase. Includes cash, checks, traveler’s checks and money orders. Sorry, due to the costs involved, we cannot offer this discount on transactions paid with credit cards (we accept Visa, MasterCard and Discover), debit cards, gift certificates, or charges made to student, faculty or staff accounts. Textbook Refund Policy Save Your Cash Register Receipts! Sterling College will give you a full refund on textbooks purchased for the current term if you drop a course during the drop/add period of the current term and if you follow this standard policy. 1. Bring your cash register receipt and a drop slip from the Registrar. The Bookstore will charge you a 10% restocking fee if you don’t have a drop slip. 2. Return your books in the condition in which you purchased them. New books must be without marks or signs of wear. Bookstore staff will evaluate the condition of the book(s) to be returned. You may receive a 50% refund if the book is determined to be in used condition. 3. Adhere to all warning labels on shrink-wrapped materials and on materials containing software. Book Buyback • Please do not confuse buyback with refunds, which are only given at the beginning of the term. • A representative from a used book wholesaler buys books from students at wholesale prices, which are set at considerably less than retail. He will buy any books with current market value and no receipt is required. • Buyback is scheduled during finals week at the end of the fall and spring semesters. There is not a separate buyback for May term. Questions? Contact us Member National Association of College Stores
