Textbook Rentals

Starting in the Spring of 2006, your ASO and Campus Store are proud to be offering a pilot Textbook Rental Program, the first of its kind at a San Diego county college/university. This is in direct response to our students' concerns about the rising costs of textbooks and our institution’s commitment to student success. Ours was the very first program of its kind in San Diego County and has received special recognition from the state Chancellor's Office.

Fall 2009 Textbook Rental begins on Monday, August 10th, at 11 am and is open to currently enrolled students with a valid SWC ID and Fall Student Activities Sticker (or copy of your Fall registration). For complete details, requirements and fees for the rentals, please click here to see a copy of the Textbook Rental Agreement that all participants will be required to complete.

Rental books will be stocked in the regular textbook sections, but will have a bright pink "Rental" sticker on the binding. All transactions take place at the Campus Store and quantities are quite limited. Due to this limited supply, students may only rent one textbook per semester.

Your Associated Students Organization, the Campus Store and Southwestern College are committed to the success of this program and will be working to expand our offerings in future semesters. We welcome your comments and suggestions - please email us at Bookstore@swccd.edu .
