The return policy for textbooks is very detailed, please check your receipt for information about the return deadlines for your purchased books. The policy applies to purchases and rentals. The rental check-in deadline is the last day of final exams for each term. Most course materials may be returned within the first 10 days of class, for Fall and Spring Terms. Mini and Summer sessions have a shorter refund time-frame from the start of the term. All purchases of textbooks made after the returns deadline are non-returnable.

Current versions of software that are still in the shrink wrap packaging, purchased within 15 calendar days can normally be returned if you have your receipt. If an item did not come in shrink wrap, it must be in resalable condition and the seal on the software cannot be broken. After fifteen days, if a product is deemed still returnable, refunds will be made at the current selling price of the item or the price on the receipt, whichever is less. This excludes special orders which are not returnable.

Opened hardware and software (that is not custom or special order) may be returned with receipt, however a 15% restock fee may be applied if items are not in resalable condition. (Product must be in original packaging, with all original accessories, manuals, etc., and all pieces must be undamaged, clean, and in brand new condition). Defectives can be exchanged (see below).
