Purchasing Textbooks

The student’s class schedule will determine textbook(s) and/or materials required for each course. To avoid purchasing incorrect textbooks, students should bring a copy of their class schedule with them when buying books. We recommend that students attend the first session of a class before making book purchases, since professors may provide additional information about which text(s) are required and which text(s) may be optional.

Textbook Return Policy

Returns will be accepted for any reason beginning the 3^rd day of classes through the end of the 6^th day of classes.

Returns with a Drop/Add Slip will be accepted until the end of the last day to add classes (2 weeks after the start of classes).

To Return a Book:

You must have your register receipt.
New books must be unmarked and show no signs of use or wear (shrink wrap intact, software unopened).
Defective texts may be exchanged at any time.

Textbook Buy-Back

Textbook buy-backs will be held in the Campus Store at the beginning and end of each semester.

The Campus Store is guided by the following industry standards in deciding which textbooks to buy and how much to pay for them:

Textbooks that are in good resale condition, in current edition, and being used again the next semester at Houghton College as required textbooks, are worth 50% of the new book price.

Our wholesale distributor will buy back textbooks in current editions that are not being used again on our campus. These books can be sold back to the Campus Store at market value.

Textbooks in poor condition and non-current editions are valueless.
