Textbook buying tips
- For all Distance Learning classes, no matter which campus you are on, select KCTCS Distance Learning from the drop-down menu
- Distance Learning textbooks purchased with financial aid will be shipped when the aid becomes available as dictated by your home college's financial aid start date, not the class start date.
- If ordering your textbooks online, be sure to register to receive automatic updates about your order.
- Buying used saves you 25%! We have the largest selection of used textbooks - but buy early, because quantities are limited!
- If you drop a class, return your textbook ASAP to any KCTCS bookstore! You'll get a full refund for your unwanted books - if you have the original receipt, and the textbook is in its original purchase condition - through the first week of the term.
Textbook selling tips
- Take care of your textbooks - damaged books have no value.
- The best time to sell is right after finals.
- Sell early - once we've purchased all the books we need for next term, the buyback price will go down.
- For KCTCS Distance Learning, sell your textbooks back at any KCTCS bookstore.
