How will Bookstore returns be handled?If a student needs to make a return, they may bring items to the Bookstore customer service window during open hours. Deadline for returns is two weeks after start of the semester, or September 8th for full semester Fall 2020 classes.
Will there be a Summer 2020 or Fall 2020 Textbook Buyback option?Similar to the end of Spring semester, there will be an online "Virtual Sellback" provided by Nebraska Book Company (NBC) for Summer 2020, which will allow students to access a link on the
Bookstore website to request a quote, print a pre-paid USPS shipping label, and mail books directly to NBC. Students will box up and mail books, using the provided label, and receive a check in the mail 2-3 weeks later. This option will be available August 3–14. The same process will be used for the end of Fall 2020 semester, unless circumstances change.
Will there be sales of items from the Bookstore in addition to course-related materials, such as t-shirts, or other logo items?Unfortunately, the current situation and set-up do not allow for sale of merchandise beyond items specifically listed for courses and available on the website.
