TEXTBOOK RENTAL PROGRAM
The UNCP Bookstore now offers a Textbook Rental Program.

Rental Agreement (given to students):
You understand that you are renting (not purchasing) the textbooks listed above and must return them to this bookstore location no later than Monday, August 6, 2012. Failure to return rented textbooks by the due date will be considered intent to purchase, and your credit card will be charged the difference between the rental price already paid, and full retail price, plus 20%.. Minimal highlighting and writing is allowed. Books must be returned in good condition and free of excessive damage. Excessive damage is any damage that would prevent another student from reasonably being able to use and gain the full learning value from the textbook (water damage, mold, missing covers, missing pages, destroyed text on pages, and the like). Books returned with excessive damage will prevent a successful rental return, and
you will be charged the difference between the rental price, and full retail value (new or used depending on the condition prior to rental).

Refund Policy:
1. A valid cash register receipt must be presented.
2. New books must be in original, pristine condition unopened and unmarked.
3. Shrink‐wrapped, boxed texts, software or packages must not be opened.
4. The UNCP Bookstore return policy will apply to all rented textbooks.  Fall & Spring textbooks are eligible for a refund within the first 7 days of the semester.  All textbooks rented after the first 7 days of the semester are considered final and no refunds will be granted. 

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ):
1. How do I return my books?
Easy. Books are returned to the cashier at the Rental Counter in the exact same way you would return
a purchased textbook. The cashier will then clear your account.
2. What if I drop my class or change my mind and need to return my rented book early?
No problem. Returns on rentals follow the same return policy as book purchases.  Refunds will be given according to the following conditions and dates:
1) A valid cash register receipt is presented. 
2) New books must be in the original selling condition.  A full refund cannot be given for textbooks that have been written in, had the plastic removed, or have been damaged in any way. 
3) Textbooks are returned to the Rental Counter within 48 hours after the course is dropped and a copy of the drop slip is provided.
4) Refunds for dropped course will only be issued the first 4 weeks of the semester. 
3. Can I write or highlight in my rented book?
Yes, but keep it reasonable. Minimal highlighting and writing is accepted as long as text on pages is not
compromised for future use. Books must be returned in good condition, suitable for the next student to
purchase or rent.
4. What if my rented book gets damaged or lost?
If your book gets damaged beyond reasonable use, lost, or stolen, your options are as follows:
EITHER:
Pay the difference between the rental price and the purchase price of the textbook (i.e. if you rented the
book for $50, and the retail price was $95, you would pay an additional $45 to the bookstore as opposed
to returning the book)
OR:
You can acquire a replacement copy in as good or better condition to turn in to the bookstore as a
replacement to the lost or damaged book.
5. Can I use student aid to rent my books?
Rentals can only be processed with a credit or debit card at this time.
