Book Adoption Deadlines:
Fall book orders are due April 1st
Spring book orders are due October 15th
Summer book orders are due March 15th

These dates often seem early to many faculty but they are in place so the store can help students save money by providing good prices at buyback and more used books overall. Fall orders are due in April so the store can buyback books from students in May. The store also orders books from used book companies across the U.S. and the earlier the orders the more inventory that will be available.

Ordering on time is also Going Green. On time orders will save a lot of fuel. All the orders placed on time arrive in large truck shipments. After that, orders are placed a few times a week and come in on numerous smaller trucks, costing fuel and freight expense. On time orders will allow the store to hold books on the shelves for future semester. Without orders these books are returned to the publishers and then shipped back in once the order is received.

Do we need every book order by the deadline? Absolutely not - what we do want is any order where a textbook is not changing so students who wish to sell back their books can get a good value. Without an order students get a standard wholesale price which is about 1/4 of the purchase price or less depending on the age. The store will pay half of the new price for any needed inventory.

Technology is great, but the staff is also happy to serve you in whatever way you desire. Feel free to contact the staff in the method that best suits your needs. We're happy to help.
