Textbooks
How can I find out which textbooks I will need for my classes?
Textbook information for curriculum courses will be posted on the Nash Campus Store website when it becomes available to us.
Choose the Academic Term for which you need information for (Fall/Spring/Summer) and a list of all courses offered during that term will appear. Choose the desired course and all of the textbook information available will appear. If some courses do not show Used or Rentals as an available option then that is not available at that time for that course.
How can I find out how much my textbooks will cost?
This information is posted online as it becomes available. If you see that the textbook information has posted for particular term, but the price info has not posted yet, check back later, as Nash Campus Store is still working on that term’s price list.
Can I rent my textbooks?
Some textbooks may have the option to be rented instead of purchasing, but this is not an option for all textbooks. Available Rentals will appear as an option when choosing your textbooks. If purchasing on campus, simply ask a Nash Campus Store associate which textbooks are available as a Rental when checking out at the register.
Are there used copies of all textbooks?
No, there are not used copies of all textbooks. Some textbooks will only be available as a new copy for many different reasons. Also, used copies are the first to be sold, so they are available at a “first come, first serve basis”.
Can I order my textbooks online?
Yes, use the "Textbook Lookup" link for Online Ordering. Simply add the desired textbooks to your cart. Upon "Checkout", you will be asked for your payment information.
When can I buy my textbooks when paying with cash or credit card?
When paying with cash or credit card, you can purchase your textbooks as soon as we have them in stock for the term in which your class is offered. It is usually best to wait untill Book Buyback starts to help ensure that used copies will be available for purchase.

What if I lost my textbook rental?
Unfortunately, any student that lost their rentals will be responsible for paying the full retail price of the textbook rented.
What do I do if my textbook rental is damaged?
Contact us so that Nash Campus Store can see what the extent of damage is to the textbook rental. Water damage, missing pages, or badly torn pages/covers will require the student to pay the full retail price of the textbook rented.
What if I need to keep my textbook rental past the return date?
Contact Nash Campus Store to see what your options are, as we may be able to extend your rental, depending on the length of additional time needed.

Can I get a refund if I change my mind about renting a textbook?
Contact Nash Campus Store immediately if you change your mind and want to purchase your textbook rental instead of renting it. There is a grace period that will allow this as an option.
If I rent a textbook, can I write in it?
No, textbook rentals should not be written or highlighted in. This could cause the student to be charged an additional fee for damages. Textbook rentals should be returned in the same condition in which they were originally received.

What if I have textbooks that are still sealed in the original plastic that they were sold in?
If the textbooks are being bought back during the current Book Buyback, sealed textbooks may hold more value than unwrapped textbooks, meaning you could get more cash back for them.

Unfortunately, Nash Campus Store cannot provide this information until you stop by and have your textbook(s) scanned.
How much money will I get for my textbooks?
This information is given at the time of your visit, when Nash Campus Store scans your textbooks.
Can someone else bring my textbooks if I’m unable to come during the current Book Buyback dates and sell my textbooks for me?
It is preferable that each student brings their own textbooks to be sold, but in the event that they are unable to make it during Book Buyback, someone else can bring in and sell your textbooks for you, but they must bring their valid photo ID, as well as your name and Student ID #.
Can I sell textbooks that I bought somewhere else?
You can bring any textbooks that you’d like and Nash Campus Store will scan them to check their current value during Book Buyback.
Why are some textbooks not bought back, even if I just purchased them at the beginning of the semester?
Nash Campus Store cannot guarantee that any textbooks will be bought by during Book Buyback. There are many different reasons why some textbooks are bought back, while others are not. Some departments may have chosen another textbook for their courses, some textbooks may have been updated to a newer edition, while others require certain specifications in order to be bought back, like having unused access code or that need to be clear of any writing/highlighting.
Why did I get such a low amount back when selling my textbook during Book Buyback when I paid much more for it originally?
Textbooks values during Book Buyback are determined by many different factors. The textbooks may have been recently updated to a newer edition, or may need to have unused access codes sold along with them. When textbooks are originally sold as bundle that included an access code, the access code is usually the more expensive part of the bundle, not the actual textbook.
Can I sell a textbook during Book Buyback if it has writing or highlighting in it?
This just depends on the textbook conditions that are applicable at the time of Book Buyback. This information is given when the textbook is scanned in the Campus Store.
Can I sell a textbook during Book Buyback if it is damaged?
All textbooks bought back must be at least in a fair condition, meaning no missing pages, torn covers, or water damage.
Can I sell a textbook during Book Buyback that originally came with an access code, but used it for class?
Some textbooks can be bought back during Book Buyback that originally were purchased with access codes, while others may require the unused access code in order to be bought back. This information is given when the textbook is scanned in the Campus Store.
Can I sell a textbook during Book Buyback that originally came with an access code, but I didn’t use it?
Having an unused access code may increase the value of the textbook, if that textbook is being bought back during Book Buyback. Some access codes, even unused, may be outdated.
How do I know if I need to have an access code/DVD/CD/Insert with a textbook in order to sell it during Book Buyback?
If a textbook originally came with a DVD/CD/Insert when it was purchased, it is probably needed when trying to sell during Book Buyback. Access codes may be required. This information can be given when Nash Campus Store scans your textbooks.
Can I sell note packets or loose leaf course materials during Book Buyback?
Unfortunately, Nash Campus Store cannot accept these types of course materials during Book Buyback.
Can I sell Continuing Education Textbooks during Book Buyback?
Possibly, just bring them in and Nash Campus Store will scan them to check.
What should I do if I miss Book Buyback?
Unfortunately, you can only bring your textbooks in to be sold while Book Buyback is going on. If you miss the current Book Buyback, you must wait until the next Book Buyback takes place, which will be around the end of the following semester.
Uniform Orders
Do I have to prepay for my uniform order in advance?
Uniform orders require prepayment before the order can be placed. All uniform orders must be paid in full before the order can be picked up.

When making a return, will I receive cash as my refund?

In this case, a check will be issued by NCC Business Office and mailed to the address on file.
If I originally paid with a credit card will I need to bring the same credit card with me when making a return?
Yes, the credit card used when making your purchase must be present to receive your refund, as the Campus Store will apply a credit to your credit card for the amount of your refund.
If I paid with Financial Aid how will I receive my refund for my return?
