Ordering online saves you time and travel across multiple campuses to find and purchase all of your books

All campus convenience stores are open Monday-Friday, 8 a.m.-2 p.m.*

The campus convenience stores at Forest Park, Florissant Valley and Meramec are currently located in the former cafeteria spaces on each campus.

The online book fulfilment centers (former bookstores) will have staff from 8 a.m.-4 p.m. M-Th and 8 a.m.-2 p.m. on Friday to answer student ordering questions and provide instruction on how to return course materials and textbooks for refunds.

The fulfilment centers are not open for general shopping.

If you cannot use online ordering or receive a financial aid decline message, emailing the online book fulfilment center for assistance will get you the quickest response.

Returns for refunds will be accepted at the online fulfilment centers during operating hours. You may send the return with receipt information back to the online fulfilment center, or you may return the unneeded books at the campus online fulfilment center location closest to where you live.

*All campus convenience stores and online fulfilment centers will have back to school rush hours. Please check the special announcements page for weekly updates to open operating hours.

Campus stores will also be closed if the college is closed for inclement weather or emergency.

• Most orders are filled and shipped within 3-5 business days. The fulfilment centers experience a high volume the first two weeks of classes. We ask for your patience as we process a high volume of orders.

• Order early! Orders placed during peak times (around the start of each semester) may be subject to delays.

Save Money by Renting

Some books are available to rent instead of purchasing.

• To rent, you will need a credit card to use as collateral.
• Rentals that are not returned by the due date will be subject to fees.
• Book waivers will also need a credit card for collateral.
• If the rented book(s) is not returned by the due date, your collateral credit card will be charged non-return fees.

Returning Rented Books

• Fall semester rented books need to be returned to a bookstore by Dec. 19, 2022
• You may drop rented books in any campus library book drop.
• Books are checked in by the bookstore after they are picked up from the library.
• Do not return books you have purchased!
• If you want to sell books you've purchased, you will need to use the Online Book Buyback service provided by Nebraska Book Company.
• Placing a slip of paper with your name and phone number inside your dropped books is a good idea. Rental bar codes are attached to the renter information, but purchased books do not have any bar code connection to the owner. If you drop books to sell, you may not get them back.
