I like to buy my books instead of renting because I may need keep them.  Why should I rent?
The GHC Bookstore has a Rental+ Program, meaning the full rental price paid can be applied to the purchase price at the end of the semester if you want to keep your book. For example, if the rental price is $25 and the purchase price is $75, you would pay $50 to keep the book at the end of the semester.
Can I rent books or packages with an access code in them?
Yes, the rental price includes the purchase of the access code, and the book will need to be returned at the end of the semester.
Can I write or highlight in my rental?
Standard writing/highlighting in the book is allowed. Excessive highlighting or writing can result in the rental being deemed damaged (See question below).
Why do I need to hold a debit/credit card on file for a rental?
The GHC Bookstore requires a debit/credit card to be held on file in case the rental is not returned.
How do I return my rental?
It’s easy. The GHC Bookstore does not require a receipt. Return your rentals at the end of the semester to the GHC Bookstore Course Materials Fulfillment Center by mailing them to:

How do I print a return label for mailed rental returns?
Follow these steps to print a shipping label and return your rental textbook by mail:

Step 1: Click Log In in the top-right corner of this page and sign in using the same method you used when placing your rental order (school login or email/password).

Step 2: Once inside your account, click the Rentals Out tab to view your active rentals.

Step 3: Locate and select the rental item(s) you want to return, then click the Rental Return Label button.

Step 4: Follow the checkout steps to confirm your shipping address and generate your label.

*Please note: If you have more than one rental to return, you do NOT need a separate shipping label for each textbook. You may place all rentals in one package and use a single label.

Step 5: After completing checkout, you’ll receive an email with your rental return shipping label attached.

Step 6: Print the label, place your rental book(s) and a note with your contact information securely in a package, attach the label, and drop it off at your local post office or mailbox.

Step 7: Once your book(s) are received and checked in, you’ll receive a confirmation email.

Alternative option: You are not required to generate a rental return shipping label through your account. If you prefer, you may create your own shipping label and return your rental using USPS, FedEx, UPS, or another shipping carrier of your choice. Please keep your tracking information for your records until your return is processed.
