Due to COVID-19, we have implemented provisions for Spring 2021 textbook and course material pick up. Click here for specific information on picking up Spring 2021 textbooks and course materials.
Lake Land College students have multiple options for textbook pick up.
NOTE: Financial Aid and voucher transactions must be made in person on campus by the student.
Lake Land College students also have multiple options for textbook returns.
Cost of defacement or damage will be paid by the renter at the new retail price.
Purchased course materials (workbooks, access codes, etc.) can be returned by the 10th day of the semester (5th day Mod/Summer) with receipt and in original condition.
Merchandise and apparel must be returned within 30 days and must be accompanied with the receipt and original tags.
It is the student’s responsibility to maintain records that may be necessary for tax purposes.
All rented items must be returned to the College by the close of hours on the 5th college business day after the last day of final exams. Beginning on the sixth day, students will be charged new retail price of unreturned rentals. Textbook return deadlines are published on the Laker Calendar.
After the period mentioned above, any textbooks that have not been returned to the Bookstore will become the property of the student and the total cost for those books will be added to their bill. At that time, books can no longer be returned to the Bookstore and any future financial aid, scholarships, or student loans may be held or applied against these charges.
Students with late textbook charges will be blocked from receiving transcripts and will not be able to register for any classes until the charges are paid.
The Bookstore will not be issuing Student IDs to new students for the Fall 2020 Semester due to the COVID-19 precautions. Students who are coming to campus to pickup books will be required to show a government-issued ID or their Student ID.
Students can stop by the Bookstore or Kluthe Center during normal business hours with a valid picture ID (i.e. driver’s license or passport) to get a Lake Land Student ID made.
There is a $10 fee for replacement IDs.
