Affordable Options
Digital and Rental Textbooks
We offer a range of digital and rental textbooks, which cost significantly less than new books:
- Rental books: about 55-80% less than new books
- Digital books: about 50-60% less than new books
Our risk-free rental policy allows highlighting and note-taking, as well as the ability to convert a rental book to a purchase, if desired.
Pay with Financial Aid
If you have financial aid, you can use your OneCard ID to charge up to $700 of books and supplies to your bursar account — including computers, printers/ink, software, Apple products and more. Learn more about the book charge program.
Price-match Program
We offer a price-match program for course materials (including used books) with Amazon and Barnes and Noble online stores. The difference in price is provided on a store gift card you can use to buy other course materials/supplies.
We do not price match online marketplace prices, such as Chegg, Amazon Prime and Amazon warehouse deals.
Textbook Formats
Textbooks come in several formats:
- Physical textbooks can have hard or soft covers. Or, they can be loose-leaf, which means a stack of loose pages you put in a binder.
- Digital textbooks are sent to you by email. The email contains a link and a code to access the materials online.
- Access cards are made of thin cardboard, usually 5-by-7 inches in size. They tell you how to access the materials online.
If you have a choice of format, choose the option that best fits your learning style and budget.
Returns
Our return policy aligns with the deadlines for adding/dropping a class. To learn how to return a book, read the Huskie Books and Gear return policy.
