The Titan Store now offers over 200 textbook titles available to rent new or used. When viewing the booklist online or browsing books on our shelves look for this option in addition to purchasing New or Used books. Books usually rent for up to 75% off the new textbook price and are due back at the end of each term. See: TEXTBOOK RENTAL AGREEMENT.

In order to rent textbooks you:

• Need to be a student in good standing
• Must have a valid L number
• Should update you email address and set as preferred in MYLANE (in order to receive check-in reminder emails).

• To rent books using our online store simply select the rental option if available for your book(s).
• Agree to the online Rental Agreement by checking the box when you 'check out' of the online shopping cart.

• Look for "Rent It" signs on the textbook floor shelves and shelf tags which designate books for rent.
• Let cashier know at check out if you want to rent or buy each book.
• You will be asked to sign a rental agreement when you pay. 

Can I get a refund on a rented book if I decide I don't want it or if I drop the class?  

Yes. Refunds for rented textbooks are treated in the same manner as textbooks that are purchased. Refunds are generally allowed through the first week of class. Check website for textbook RETURN POLICY AND DEADLINE. Receipts are required for ALL returns.

Why isn't the book for my class available for rent?

The Titan Store chooses which books are available to rent based on what books are being used each term and which of these books are being offered for rent by our wholesale book vendors. Each term we work hard to add more rentable titles for you to choose from.

Are rental books available through online purchase?

Yes. You can rent your book in the store or online.

Do I get my rental fee back when I check my rental book in at the end of the term?

No. When you choose to rent a book you are paying a lower price than you would if you purchased the book out right. Your rental fee is non-refundable unless you return your book before the last day for returns (usually the second Monday of the term).

Can I purchase my rental books if I want to keep it?

Yes. If you decide to keep your rental book you can come into the Titan Store any time during the term (before the check-in date), to purchase using Cash, Check or Credit Card.     

What if I need my rental book for class the next term?

Currently the Titan Store is unable to extend the rental period beyond the current term. If you need your book for the next term your options are to check-in and re-rent next term (if available) or purchase the remainder of the book. We can help you figure out which option is best - just ask!

Can I use a highlighter in my rental books?

Minimal yellow highlighting and marking is allowed. If marks are excessive (more than a few pages) you will be charged the difference between the rental and purchase price. 

When do I have to return my rented books to the Titan Store?

Rentals may be returned for full refund on or before Textbook Return deadline (see above). After the Textbook Return Deadline rental books may be Checked-In (No Refund), any time during the term. The deadline for Checking-In rental books is usually the 1st Business day after Finals Week.

What information is needed to assure that the rental is credited to my account?

When Checking-In your rental you will need to provide your Name and L-Number for the Check-In to be processed successfully.

What if my dog stole my textbook and ate it?

If your rental book is damaged, lost or stolen, you have a couple of options:

• You can come in at any time before the Rental Check-In deadline to purchase the remainder of your book.
• You can just not return your book and we will charge you for the remainder of the book price, plus a $15 processing fee.
