Dear Faculty
and Staff,
Beginning in
January, 2011, the campus bookstores at NOVA
will begin renting textbooks.
This
innovative textbook rental program will allow students to rent their textbooks for
less than 50% of the cost of purchasing a new printed textbook. Plus, as an
added convenience, students will be able to rent their books either in the
store or from the store’s website www.nvcc.bncollege.com
Other program
features include:
- Students
can pay the rental fees using any form of tender currently accepted by the
bookstore (excluding PayPal) – including student financial aid and campus
debit cards. (Note: For security purposes, a valid credit card must also
be provided regardless of the tender used for the rental fee.)
- Students
can highlight or mark the rented books just as they would if they
purchased a book and planned to sell it back to the bookstore.
- Students
can convert their rental to a purchase during the first two weeks of
class.
- The
rental period is for the duration of the term/semester. Books are due back
by the last day of finals. Students can return books in person or mail
them to the bookstore.
- Courtesy
emails will go out as the end of the term/semester approaches reminding
students to return their books. Books not returned (or returned in
unusable condition) will be subject to replacement and processing fees.
If you have
any questions about textbook rentals you can contact the bookstore manager on
your campus or myself.
Thank you
