Textbook Rental Program
A new pilot program that we have implemented for the fall semester is the textbook rental program.Titles are currently being added in order to help reduce textbook costs for our students. The textbook rental program is designed not only to lower overall textbook costs in cases where only new books are available, it also reduces the upfront financial outlay for students at the beginning of the semester. For used textbooks, the rental program reduces the upfront financial outlay. However, it is better to purchase a used book and sell it back at the end of the semester in order to minimize the cost of the book. The table below lists the books that are available to rent for this pilot program. We may add more titles before the start of the fall semester.
