University Bookstore
The University Bookstore is located on the first floor in Lee Hall,
next to the Campus Police Office. All textbook orders are placed through
the bookstore, with the assistance of the textbook manager. Textbook
order forms are typically sent to faculty well in advance of the semester
of their use. Faculty can obtain desk copies of texts from the publisher,
usually by contacting the publisher’s sales representative for
the University. Information about contacting publishers is available
from the department support staff and from the bookstore. Faculty also
can obtain desk copies of current texts from the bookstore by paying
for them or by charging them to their academic departments, with written
authorization from the chair. Within 60 days of the start of each semester,
a new book with no writing, marks, or publisher stamps may be returned
for a refund when accompanied by a receipt or for department credit.
The bookstore also extends a 20% discount on the purchase of books for
personal use to all University faculty and staff. This discount also
is extended to departments for department purchases, not including books
purchased for student use.
