All required course materials for classes are available at the WSU Bookstore located in the Student Center. This full service bookstore offers new and used textbooks, as well as textbook rental. To make the book selection process for classes easier, please bring your class schedule. The Bookstore also stocks school supplies, specialty books and a wide variety of gifts and clothing imprinted with the WSU logo.

Used Textbooks

We stock many used copies of textbooks, but the supply is limited and they sell quickly. Shop early for the best selection of used books.

Rent-A-Text

Students will have the option to use Rent-A-Text through the University bookstore saving on average half the price of a new book. You’ll need to complete the short rental agreement online or at the register in the store. You must be 18 years of age and provide a valid ID and a credit card as collateral. With Rent-A-Text, students can highlight and write in the book. Normal wear and tear is anticipated. You can pick up rental textbooks in store or order online and have them shipped to your home.

Textbook Rental Return Policy

Any student who uses the University Bookstore Book Rental Program must abide by the contact he/she signs with the bookstore. All rented textbooks are due back by the rental due date. Students who fail to return books or pay the balance due will not be

able to register for the next semester. An administrative hold will remain in place until the student pays the balance owed. In addition, the student will not be eligible to participate in the Textbook Rental Program until he/she settles his/her debt.

Online Purchasing

Textbooks and many general merchandise items are available on the bookstore website at www.WSU.bkstr.com. Students can purchase or rent textbooks by clicking on the textbook tab, picking the proper term and selecting the course and section numbers. Online orders can be picked up at the bookstore or they can be shipped to your home.

Return Policy

Ways to Pay

The bookstore accepts cash, personal checks, MasterCard, Visa, American Express, and Discover, as well as the One Card. The bookstore also has gift cards available for sale both in store and online.

Book Buy Back

The bookstore will purchase books back at any time, no matter where they were originally purchased, provided there is national demand for the book, as determined by the bookstore’s buying guide. The bookstore purchases books back for resale from Worcester State students at half the new purchase price provided there is a current order and need for the book in the upcoming semester. The best time for students to sell books back is during finals when they are finished with it and the bookstore has the most-up-to-date information on the needs of the upcoming semester.
