SECTION II: LIFE UNIVERSITY STUDENT & CAMPUS SERVICES
Renting Textbooks You must have a driver’s license and a credit card to rent any textbooks. You can pay for your rental by cash, check or credit card but you will need to have a valid credit card on file. When you rent a textbook, you have until the end of the quarter to return them. If not returned to the bookstore by the return date, your credit card on file will be charged.
Refund Policy Refunds are given to bookstore customers with sales receipts, consistent with the following: Textbooks may be returned for full credit if the book is: 1. accompanied by a sales receipt; 2. unmarked, if purchased new; 3. returned within specified time; 4. picture I.D. is required. Regular term textbooks may be returned for full credit up to seven calendar days from the opening day of class. After the first week of classes, you have 24 hours from the time of purchase to return a textbook. There are no refunds for textbooks purchased during the last week of classes or during examination periods. General books (non-textbooks), supplies, and gift items may be returned for full credit within seven calendar days when sales receipt accompanies the item which is in new and salable condition. As is common in most bookstores, the following are non-returnable: 1. Magazines, newspapers, periodicals, study guides, outlines, examination booklets and programmed materials; 2. Undergarments, swimwear, socks, hats, custom imprinted items, special order and sale merchandise; 3. Opened packages of merchandise; 4. Lab coats, exam gowns, and clinic jackets No refunds only exchanges.
Used Books Debit cards are issued out for used textbooks throughout the year. Prices paid depend on future class use at the institution and bookstore inventory levels. Up to 50 percent is paid on all textbook editions, which have been adopted for the next term (as long as the demand equals or exceeds the supply). Textbooks should be sold as soon after the last class as possible for maximum value. This is when inventories will be most depleted and the need is the greatest. The average life of a textbook is about three years. As an additional bookstore service, non-adopted textbooks that are current editions and in good condition will be purchased at the current market value based upon a national university textbook market guide. The bookstore will buy back students’ books at any time during the year whether they are used on this campus or not. Policies are subject to change without notice.
SOCRATES CAFÉ AND PLATO II GO Socrates Café is a gathering place for all members of the LIFE community. Located at the Eastern end of the College of Undergraduate and Graduate Studies, the Café opens up to an inviting outdoor patio area with shaded seating areas near fountains, a fire pit and soothing streams. The indoor seating areas are comfortable, with ‘smart’ booths and flat screens, high ceilings, natural lighting and the ability to use the HUGE screen for live or rebroadcasted events like the LIFE rugby and basketball team games. Menus in the Cafe are seasonal, regional, with items freshly-made, featuring “clean label” ingredients and sourcing from local and regional organic farmers and vendors as much as possible. Entrees, soups and sauces are prepared by hand, ‘from scratch’ in the Café kitchen. Most- requested items, such as breakfast eggs are cage-free; chicken breasts and burgers are without hormones 20
