Q: Why aren't all textbooks rentals?
A: The Phoenix Rental Program is in a trial period. Data is being accumulated to ascertain the popularity of textbook rental vs. textbook purchase. The continuation of the program will depend on its popularity and success with students and professors.
Q: Can I write or highlight in the rental textbook?
A: Minimal highlighting and marking are allowed, but if marks are excessive The
Phoenix Bookstore will charge you the replacement cost of the rental item.
Q: May I sell back rented books during textbook buyback?
A: No. Please do not try to sell back rented materials during the textbook
buyback period.
Q: Is it more cost effective for me to rent a book or purchase it and
sell it back during textbook buyback?
A: Renting provides lower initial cost for you as a student; however, in some
cases it may be more cost effective to purchase a used textbook and sell it back
at buyback. More information about
buyback can be found at:
Q: Can I turn my rental item in early if my class ends or the book is no
longer needed?
A: Yes. Rental items can be
returned to The Phoenix Bookstore anytime during our normal business hours.
