ASU implements textbook rental program

<!--[if supportFields]-->

 

After renting either a new or used book, students may highlight materials or make notes in the book as they would if they had purchased it. When the semester is completed, they must return the book in acceptable condition within seven working days after end of finals.

 

Students deciding to keep the book can convert the rental into a purchase until the end of the refund period. Students opting to buy a rented book will receive a refund on the rental fee and then be charged the regular retail price, based upon whether the book was new or used when originally rented.

 

"With this new option," Pecina said, "Angelo State students will have a viable way of economizing on many of their book costs while still receiving the support they rely on from the ASU Bookstore.
