[NABS-L] question about textbooks for college

[Elizabeth Mohnke]

Hello nesma,

I usually try to buy my textbooks as soon as possible and when I have funds available to buy them. Most college bookstores have return policies where you can return the textbook for a full refund shortly after the semester starts. This way you can get your money back for the textbook if you decide to drop the class after it starts. 

If the textbook comes with some sort of access key then this access key generally needs to be unopened or unused in order for you to receive a full refund for your textbook.

I hope this information helps.

Warm regards,
Elizabeth

Subject: [NABS-L] question about textbooks for college

Hi NABsters,
I have a question. my assistive technology department at my college says that if a book can't be found on things like bookshare and learning allli, that it will take up to two weeks to get it from the publisher. I am wondering how long in advance of the start of the semester should I be looking at the bookstore for books before I worry? I had a incident the fall of 2019 where I didn't know any of my books  untill the first day and was forced to give the department the rental receit. I would love to avoid this from happening again.

thank you,

Nesma
