Looseleaf textbooks are returnable if they're in good condition. Textbook bundles are not eligible for returns at this time. Check the wrapping material for notes about non-returnability when purchasing.

Make sure to bring your textbook, UID, and original receipt. We will not process the return without all three!

Any member of our textbook department is able to help! You can reach us at 801-581-3518.

To be eligible for a refund, you must turn in your textbook before the deadline. If you miss both deadlines, and/or if you have additional textbooks from past semesters that you would like to get rid of, you may be able to sell them to the Campus Store through our textbook buyback program.

The Campus Store makes every effort to get you the highest possible price for your used books. We offer up to 50% retail value. Textbook buyback operates on a first-come first serve basis, so bring your books back early to get the best price.

The following affects your buyback price:

• Book condition
• If the course instructor notified the Campus Store that the textbook will be reused
• If the instructor decided NOT to us the book again or has not submitted “Textbook Adoptions” indicating that it will be used
• If the Campus Store has already purchased a sufficient quantity to meet the projected need for next semester
• If the textbook has been published in an updated version

• Ask your professor if you REALLY need the newest edition. Reusing older editions means a lower purchase price.
• Ask your professor if they have submitted their “Textbook Adoptions”. We rely on timely submission of required and recommended textbook information from faculty to order more used books on time and avoid last minute shipping and fees.
• Buy and sell your textbooks ON CAMPUS. When you buy and sell your books on campus, you're helping reduce the costs of your textbooks the following semester-just like the class in front of you helped you by selling their book on campus. Buy your textbooks in store and online.
• Shop for your textbooks early! This gives you a better chance of getting USED and RENTAL versions of textbooks which can save you up to 60%.
• Sell your textbooks back as early as possible. The quantity of titles being bought back by the Campus Store is limited and can be reached at any time.
