How long do I get to keep a rental?
A rental is not due until the last day of each semester. 
I like to buy my books instead of renting because I may need keep them.  Why should I rent?
With our rental program, the full rental price paid can be applied to the purchase price at the end of the semester if you want to keep your book. For example, if the rental price is $25 and the purchase price is $75, you would pay $50 to keep the book at the end of the semester.
Can I rent books or packages with an access code in them?
Yes, the rental price includes the purchase of the access code, and the book will need to be returned at the end of the semester.
Can I write or highlight in my rental?
Standard writing/highlighting in the book is allowed. Excessive highlighting or writing can result in the rental being deemed damaged (See question below).
Why do I need to hold a debit/credit card on file for a rental?
We require a debit/credit card to be held on file in case the rental is not returned.

How do I return my rental?
It’s easy. We don't require a receipt. Please visit the Rental Return Info tab for instructions on how to return your textbooks.
**Please make sure your contact information is located in the package.**
What if I don’t return my rental?
The bookstore will charge your card on file for the full replacement of your outstanding items unless previous arrangements have been made with the bookstore.
Did you get the books I returned?
When rentals are returned, you will receive an emailed receipt showing they are returned.
What if I need to extend my rental? 
Please contact the bookstore to pay the upcoming semester's rental fee.
What if I want to keep my book? 
Please contact the bookstore to let us know that you want to keep the book. The bookstore has a rental program meaning the full rental price paid will be applied to the purchase price if you want to keep your book. For example, if the rental price is $25 and the purchase price is $75, you would pay $50 to keep the book.
What if I lost or damaged my rentals?
Students are required to pay the difference in how much was paid for the rental price minus the purchase price.

Rental Agreement

"I will return the rented materials to this bookstore on or before the rental return date. The bookstore is not responsible for reminding me of the rental return date and is not responsible for returns that are lost or damaged in shipping. I am fully responsible for the condition of the materials rented to me and for payment of fees and replacement costs if rented materials are lost, stolen or returned in unacceptable condition. Unacceptable conditions include, but are not limited to, water damage, lost pages, binder spine fraying or falling apart, and missing CD’s or other study aides. All rented materials are subject to these conditions and the bookstore will decide what is, or is not, acceptable at the time the rented materials are returned.

If I fail to return the rented materials by the rental return date printed on my receipt, the credit card on file with the bookstore will be charged a $10.00 rental extension fee and the full retail price of the rented materials minus the amount paid for the initial rental. Replacement costs will be assessed 5 days after the rental due date. Retail price is based on current values at the time of replacement. If the credit card on file is declined or has been cancelled, a student hold will be placed on your account as well as turned over to a collections agency. Replacement of rental materials (exact duplicate, correct ISBN, title, author, edition, etc.) will be accepted in lieu of any damaged rental materials on or before the rental return date. The Bookstore’s refund policy applies for all rental materials.  I am responsible for contacting NMHU Bookstore in the event my rental book(s) are late or not returned.  I also consent to receiving emails, texts, etc from the bookstore.
