The University Bookstore

University Bookstore partners with your faculty to make affordable the required course materials you need for class. We offer books in several options from the traditional new and used to rental (Renting can have a savings up to 80% compared to new price) and digital books (with a savings of up to 60% or more). The bookstore is a full-service campus store that carries everything from School Supplies, Food & Snacks, Health & Beauty, Study Aids and a wide variety of Toro Gifts & Gear! We are your one stop shop for all things Toros!

Buyback of Textbooks

Sell your used books every day! The best time is during the week of finals! Get the most cash when you sell a book that will be used again in the next semester. All titles are subject to condition and national demand.
