Rental Information
About the Program

Wolfstore offers a Textbook Rental Program that provides students with a cost-effective and green way to get the textbook and course materials needed for their classes. By offering textbooks at rental prices that are significantly below the cost of retail (often more than 50% off), the program has saved WOU students over $1 million since 2010! All books that are rented eventually get returned and reused, keeping the whole program environmentally friendly. Try out the Textbook Rental Program the next time you buy books!


What is available to rent?

There are two ways to know if a textbook is rentable: it will say it on the shelf tag in the store (see example) and it will be listed with a rental price on the website. Unfortunately, not all textbooks are available to rent. This is because we purchase the rentable textbooks through a third-party vendor, and only limited titles are available.

Besides textbooks, Wolfstore also rents out TI-84 graphing calculators and response clickers.


How do I rent a book?

In store: The shelf tag will say “Available to Rent,” but the books will not be marked as rentals. Simply take the book to check-out, tell the cashier that you want to rent the book, and be ready to show your student I.D. It’s as easy as that!

Online: On your course materials list, the book will be listed with a used rental and new rental price. Simply click on the “Add to Cart” button next to the rental you want and proceed with check-out.


Can I get a refund for what I rented?

Rentals follow the same refund schedule as regular textbooks, so yes. The first week of classes during fall, winter, or spring term, a 100% refund is available until the end of the day on Friday. The second week of classes, an 80% refund is offered until the end of the day on Friday. After that, no refund is available unless you have proof that you dropped the class by the drop-date on our calendar. Summer term refunds are limited due to the shortened nature of classes. See our calendar for refund timeframe.


When and where do I turn in rented items?

All rentals are due by the last day of the term they were rented, so the Friday of Finals Week. Please return them at Wolfstore's Buyback/Return Window, located by the North Entrance to the Werner University Center.
