Textbook service provides a unique textbook rental program for undergraduates. The textbook rental program is an economical alternative to purchasing most textbooks. The textbook rental fee is included in your student fees, payable at the Office of the Bursar.

Textbook Service is now located at 200 University Park Drive, lower level (MAP). When returning or picking up books, students who are driving must park in Parking Lot P4, as there is no student parking at the Textbook Service building. You will then cross the street to the sidewalk leading to the rear entrance of 200 University Park. For students not driving, there will be Cougar Shuttle service to the sidewalk leading to Textbook Service’s entrance. The shuttle will run on a regularly scheduled basis during the extended hours of issues and returns.

Once inside the building, follow the hallway signs to the correct entrance needed.

Normal Operating Hours:

SIUE Cougar ID card is required to rent textbooks!Discount periods are intended to encourage students to establish a personal library of books for general reference or related to their major.

The Discount Period is an ideal time for students to buy the books they would like to keep. All rental textbooks are available for sale during this period at discounts of up to 40%, depending on how long the book has been in use. Books are discounted 20% during the first year of use, 30 % the second year, and 40% thereafter.

The Discount Rate does not apply to books returned late or not returned. The student will be charged a cost that is equal to the replacement cost of the textbook.

ALL DISCOUNT SALES ARE FINAL.

Dropping or Withdrawing from a Class
Students dropping classes or withdrawing from all classes must return their texts immediately to avoid penalties. Textbooks may be returned early if no longer needed. At the end of each semester, textbooks must be returned to Textbook Service. The entire replacement costs of the textbooks which are not returned will be charged to the student’s account.
