Textbook Buyback
Buyback is available year-round at the Southern Union Bookstore, but the best time to sell your textbooks is during finals week and the week after finals.
During this peak period, you may receive up to 50% of the original selling price if:
-
The textbook will be used again next semester.
-
The textbook is in good condition.
Please note:
We cannot buy back:
-
Damaged books or books with missing pages
-
Books that originally included CDs or access codes
-
Lab manuals or workbooks
If your textbook is not being used next semester, you may still receive a market value offer based on current national demand.
Buyback is available to Southern Union students only — a valid Student ID is required.
NOTE: Selling stolen books to Southern Union Bookstores is a crime under Alabama and Federal laws. Any student caught selling stolen books may be prosecuted by Barnes & Noble. In addition, the student may be faced with suspension or expulsion from Southern Union State Community College.
