Can I remove an item from my list of reserved books on text express?

Can I keep a rented textbook if I am retaking a class?
-
If you would like to keep a rental textbook for an additional semester, please contact the University Store at 208-496-3400 and ask for their Web department to let them know. You will be billed an additional rental fee for the second semester but by calling, you will avoid being charged the full price of purchasing the textbook instead.
How do I buy an Online book (AutoAccess)?
- Your student account will be charged automatically for an online textbook or auto access course materials during the first week of the semester or block and charges can only be paid online. All Auto Access materials can be refunded up until the drop deadline, which is the last day to drop without receiving a "W" on your student transcript. The refund should show with a business day of dropping the course.
- For more information see Auto Access.
What is the benefit of using digital textbooks (e-books and Auto Access)?
- It’s the quickest and safest way to ensure course materials are available on the first day of class.
- Digital books do not need to be returned or shipped back at the end of the semester.
- With physical textbooks, there is a chance your materials will not arrive by the first day of class.
- All materials will be updated on the student Book List as well as the Text Express website.
- If students are enrolled in a course with Auto Access content, those textbooks will already be digitally available in I-Learn.
- All regular e-books can be found here.
After purchasing an e-book, how do I access its content?
-
If it's a digital book, you will have received an email with the link to the site where the book is available and a redemption code

If it's an access code to content, the code will be emailed to you.

How do I find my Redemption code?

How can I opt out of an online textbook?
What do I do if I need to return textbook rentals?
Can I sell back a book I purchased from the University Store?
I forgot to turn in my rented books and now there's a charge on my account. What happens now?
- You now own the books and are responsible to pay the charge on your account. You are free to do what you want with the books.
How do I buy a book that I rented on the same semester?
-
You can purchase a book you rented, you just need to return rental book back and then you can purchase book at used price. If you don't return the book, you will be charged an additional $5.00 plus the used book price.
What is a special order?
- A non-refundable order placed for a student when an item is out of stock. It ensures students receive the next available copy and doesn't have additional fees. Students will be notified by phone or email when the order arrives. There is a 10 day pick-up period before a $20 fee is charged to the student's account.
