Important points to know for getting texts and supplies through our ARCC Campus Stores:

?Please DO NOT activate your eBooks until the start of class or per your instructor’s directions. (Non-activated eBooks are only refundable within 14 days from purchase date!)
Only REQUIRED or CHOOSE ONE options are covered under PSEO, VET, & 3rd Party programs.
Financial Aid (FAFSA) and out-of-pocket payment students can purchase any/all course materials.
PSEO, VET, & 3rd Party programs do not cover shipping charges, so you will need to pick up your order at either Campus Store. If you are unable to pick up your order, you can designate someone else to pick it up and sign for your order on your behalf, but you will have to notify us beforehand. Financial Aid (FAFSA) and out-of-pocket payment students can select to have their orders shipped to them for a fee.
PSEO students return your textbooks to either Campus Store after your class ends or during Finals Week, WITH accompanying completed PSEO Returns form. A Campus Store staff member will check in your order and give you a receipt for your records. It is important you keep track of that receipt (file it away or take a picture of it) for at least 2 months after the semester ends, until billing closes, so you can show proof you returned your books in the event you receive a bill for non-returned books.
If an eBook and a physical text are listed as CHOOSE ONE, then you should select one choice. The PSEO, VET, and 3rd Party programs only cover one option. You can get the digital eBook version or the physical paper copy of the book, but NOT both (YOU will be personally charged for one if you get both).
OPTIONAL and RECOMMENDED textbooks and supplies are NOT covered under the PSEO, VET, and 3rd Party programs (unless preauthorized). If you want an item that is coded as OPTIONAL or RECOMMENDED, you can place a separate online order and pay with a credit/debit card.
Most books and supplies are now housed at the Rapids Campus Store (including Cambridge class books/materials/supplies). You can have your online order transferred (no fee) to the Cambridge Campus Store for pickup there during regular business hours. We will still carry Cambridge course ART supplies and Lab Kits at the Cambridge Campus Store for students. They can place an online order if they want to pick up their materials at the Rapids Campus Store. We cannot ship most ART supplies.
Be sure to note any information for the store staff in the COMMENTS box during the final checkout page, such as, “I’M A PSEO STUDENT”, or the name of an alternate person designated to pick up and sign for your order (with their own photo ID). This will help us ensure we process your order accurately.
You have two weeks from the start of the FALL or SPRING semester (and 14 calendar days from a late-start class- beginning midway through the semester) to return materials in the condition purchased, along with the original register receipt or your online order Packing Slip, for a refund. Sealed packages that have the shrink-wrap opened, exposed access codes, books with noticeable damages made after the purchase, and USED books sold “AS-IS” are NON-REFUNDABLE. Returns are accepted 7 calendar days from the start of SUMMER semester (and 7 calendar days for late-start classes).
