Guide to Student Life - Campus Life - Adelphi University

Textbook Rental
An innovative textbook rental program is available at the Adelphi Bookstore. Students have the
opportunity to rent textbooks for less than 50 percent of the cost of purchasing a new printed
textbook. Information about textbook rentals is available at adelphi.bncollege.com.
Textbook Reservation Online
To make renting or buying textbooks easier, take advantage of Adelphi’s Textbooks Reservation
Program from your very own eCampus account. Upon logging in to your eCampus account,
click on the Purchase Textbooks Online link in your My Courses section of your eCampus
home page. Students can view and purchase all required and recommended books for their
registered classes. You will also have the option to pick up your orders in the bookstore or have
the orders shipped to your residence. Please note that an additional shipping cost will apply.
Used Textbooks
The bookstore often sells used textbooks. Keep in mind that used books often sell out quickly
because they are less expensive.
Digital Textbooks
Digital textbooks are also available for most textbooks.
Textbook Returns
If you decide to drop a course after the first week of class, the bookstore will give you a full
refund up to 30 days after the first day of classes, with a valid receipt and proof of a course
scheduling change.
For more information regarding the return policy, call campus ext. 3900, email
bookstore@adelphi.edu, or drop by the bookstore for a more detailed explanation. Don’t forget to
save your receipt. All returns require a receipt.
Textbook Buybacks
The bookstore will buy back your used textbooks at any point in the semester, excluding the
first two weeks of the term. Books tend to have their highest buyback value during finals
period. Students may receive up to 50 percent cash back if the book is being used for the next
semester. Student ID is required.
