Q. How does the book buy-back plan work?

HCU Bookstore conducts textbook buyback week. This is also the time that students would return their rental books as well. Buyback usually begins at 8 a.m. and will last about an hour before the posted closing time.  A call can be made to the bookstore just to verify as this varies due to Usually, it's the last week of classes. When you go, you will be required to show your HCU ID card. They can pay up to 50%*, no matter where you bought your books, even if you bought them online. The bookstore does NOT buyback the following: torn/ripped book covers or pages, loose-leaf books,  damaged textbooks (ei. torn or ripped covers or pages, water-damaged books..etc..), loose-leaf books that go in binders, instructor or international copies.  It is always best to try and participate in buyback the first 3 days as the bookstore does buy back a certain number of books for the next semester. You can always visit the HCU Bookstore's website for more details . For more details, you can contact the Bookstore at 284-649-3258. Check out their website as well. (*50% is not a guarantee. There are limits to what they can purchase from students. 50% is offered for books that the store will be using for the semester they are preparing for, and the price goes down from there depending on the need and if the company the bookstore is using for buyback will accept the books in question).
