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.
Textbooks may be rented or returned through out the semester during normal business hours
To pickup textbooks - all students need to have a current scannable SIUE ID card and be enrolled in classes.
Effective July 2009, according to the HIPPA privacy act, only the student and no one else may pick up their books.
And remember, textbook rental fees are included in undergrad student fees so you do not need to bring money to get your books!
SIUE Student ID card is required to rent textbooks!
