Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about the Student Bookshop

We recommend purchasing textbooks during the first week of the semester once you've confirmed your course schedule. Pre-orders open two weeks before semester start for guaranteed availability.

We accept cash, K-Net, Visa, Mastercard, and student account charging (with appropriate approval). Digital purchases can be made using credit/debit cards online.

New textbooks can be returned within 7 days of purchase with the original receipt, provided they are in pristine condition with no markings or damage. Used books and digital products are non-returnable.

Yes! Used textbooks are available at 25-50% off the new price, depending on condition. We inspect and grade all used books to ensure quality. Availability varies by title and semester.

Bring your used textbooks to any bookshop location during buyback periods (typically the last two weeks of each semester). We'll evaluate the condition and make you an offer based on current demand and book condition.

Digital versions are available for most major courses, but not all. Check the online catalog or ask a bookshop staff member. Digital books often come with interactive features and are generally more affordable than print versions.
