You
can get all required classroom texts and lab materials,
plus a complete line of school supplies and a variety of beverages
and snacks at the bookstore on campus. Computer software and
UC gifts items are also available.
If you're an avid reader, you'll find a paperback selection
stocked weekly with all the current best sellers. A wide
variety of nursing/allied health titles is also maintained.
Should
I mark in my textbooks?
After buying a textbook, you should attend class before
unwrapping or making any marks in the book. This will allow
you to return incorrect purchases and get a refund, if the
books are returned within 10 days from the start of the
quarter. You will need your photo I.D. and sales receipt
when you return books. In fact, a sales receipt is required
for all returns. Once you're sure you will be keeping the
text, write your name, address, and phone number on the
inside cover. You might also want to highlight sections
discussed in class and make notes in your textbooks.
Can
I sell my books back at the end of the quarter?
The bookstore also buys back books after you've used them
in class. There are two ways the bookstore buys books. In
the most commonly used mehtods, the bookstore purchases
books that will be used the next quarter and you will receive
half the current list price of the book, even if it is used.
If you have a book that is not going to be used the following
quarter, you can advertise the book on the Bookstore bulletin
board or sell the book to the Bookstore for the wholesale
price. The buy-back period runs two weeks prior to and during
exam week each quarter, and a photo I.D. is required. The
bookstore also buys books at the beginning of each quarter,
usually during the first two to three days.
