Q & A

 Q) What if my textbook is so damaged that it can't be used again?

 A) Excessive damage to a book that causes it to be unusable will result in the student being charged for the replacement cost of the book.
 
 Q) How do I get another textbook if mine is lost or stolen?

 A) As soon as the replacement cost of the textbook is paid, a copy of the receipt is all you need to clear the fine.  If you wish to purchase a replacement book online you must make sure to get the correct edition. See this ISBN list.
 
 Q) What if a student pays for a textbook that is later found?

 A) The book becomes the property of the student/parent as soon as the textbook bill has been paid.  If a student later finds a textbook for which they have paid and the textbook is still a current adoption, the student will receive a refund.

 *** We do not refund for lost English novels.
 
 Q) What if a teacher allows students store textbooks in the classroom?

 A)  Students store textbooks in classrooms at their own risk.  A student is responsible for the textbook they checked out – not just any textbook.  If the textbook disappears from the classroom, the student is still responsible for the textbook.  We do not recommend storing textbooks in the classroom.
