Returns


  • The original purchase receipt is required to return or exchange textbooks.
  • Textbook returns for full refunds will be accepted the first and second week of classes for the Fall and Spring terms.
  • Books purchased for a Summer term will be accepted for full refund only during the first week of classes for that session.
  • Students who withdraw completely may return textbooks for a full refund through the end of the fourth week of Fall and Spring semesters if they provide a signed withdrawal form with receipt.
  • New textbooks must be in perfect condition for a full refund. New textbooks returned with any marking or underlining will be refunded at the used book price. The Bookstore staff is the sole judge in determining whether a returned book is in new or used condition. Some textbooks sold with single-user online access codes may not be returnable.  Textbook bundles must contain all components in “new” condition when returned for a refund.
  • Shepherd University Bookstore cannot issue cash refunds. A check from the State of West Virginia will be issued for all returns when the original purchase was made with cash or check. Please allow 4-6 weeks for your check.
  • Deposits on special orders are non-refundable.
