Books: Purchasing, Returning, and Buy-backs
We recommend you go to class before purchasing books. However, books are available two weeks before classes begin at the campus store where the class is scheduled to be held. The Sylvania Campus Bookstore also has a computer purchasing department with demo models on display.
Book returns are gladly accepted if they are in a condition that would allow them to be resold. The books must be accompanied by the dated original purchase receipt for the book and returned within the first 10 days of the fall, winter, or spring term in which the book is purchased. Summer term and modular class book refunds must occur within the first 7 days of the term. See our return policy for more information.
Book buy-back is always offered during finals week. Dates and times are posted here at our website and at the campus bookstores a few weeks before the end of each term. The value of the book is determined by the national wholesaler conducting the buy-back. PCC cannot guarantee the buy back of books sold.
