Q. Can I charge Apple Products and Electronics to my Student Account?

A. University policies normally limit students to a credit limit of $750 in charges at the Bookstore. In light of the Covid-19 Pandemic's closure of campus, including the Bookstore, this limit has been temporarily increased to $1,000. Additionally, after May 1st, 2020, students must be enrolled in the Summer or Fall 2020 semester in order to make charges to their accounts. 

Q. Does it matter which email address I use when I place an order?

A. We recommend you use the email address that is currently on file with the University.  This will help keep all of your purchasing activity together and cause less confusion should there be an issue with your order.

Coupons and Discounts

Q. I have a coupon code.  Can I use it on anything?

A. No, coupon codes cannot be used on gift cards, technology products, textbooks and other items as determined by the Bookstore staff.  Coupons are typically not good on already discounted merchandise.  We attempt to exclude all non-eligible products from the coupon.  If a coupon is used on a non-eligible product, the Bookstore may offer to sell the product to the customer at the regular price or to cancel the order.

Q. How do I obtain a coupon code?

A. Coupon codes are provided to members of our campus community for promotional and appreciation purposes.  Past examples of coupon codes are for new students, season ticket holders, or alumni groups.  The Bookstore reserves the right to discontinue a coupon without notice.  Coupons are monitored for use.  If a coupon is found to be used in a manner inconsistent with its purpose, the Bookstore may offer to remove the coupon from the order or to cancel the order.
