The Butler Community College Bookstore provides, as a service to the students, a cash buy-back during finals week of each semester. If the bookstore purchases your book for college use for the upcoming semester, you will be paid 50% of the sticker price, except for books containing ”one-user software“. That price will be calculated without the cost of the software. CDs, workbooks and supplements accompanying the original purchase are necessary to consider the book for buy-back. The college bookstore receipt is required.
Buy back is NOT guaranteed on every book purchased from the Bookstore! Buyback quotas are based on expected enrollment of the upcoming semester and current inventory in the bookstore.
Approximately one week prior to the buyback dates you may obtain a list of books being considered for buyback by visiting www.butlercc.edu, click on the link to the bookstore page and then select the Semester Book Buy Back link. This will give you the current list of books being considered for buyback. The wholesalers that assist the college in our buyback event may be able to buy books other than those books designated on our website.
For class refund deadlines, visit the Registrar's Office.
A Butler Bookstore receipt is required for all returns.
1. Books purchased NEW must remain in original condition
3. Clothing, Gifts, and Supplies are returnable for 15 days from the date of purchase, with a receipt, in new condition, in original packaging.
Please refer to the Registrar's Office for adding/dropping or withdrawing classes or the Learning Calendar, located at any counselor's office, for additional refund dates. Courses less than 4 weeks have no refund after the first class meeting.
Books and study aids purchased after the second week of class and before the last two weeks of class may be returned within seven days of the date purchased in its original condition Books and study aids purchased during the last two weeks of classes will only be considered for buy-back. No refunds allowed during the last two weeks of class.
If the student has an outstanding balance with the college, the credit will be applied to the student's account; otherwise, a check will be mailed to the student in a timely manner. Purchases made by cash or check will be processed through Accounts Receivable. Purchases made by book voucher or financial aid will be credited to the student's account immediately. Purchases made by credit card must be applied to that credit card.
Classes cancelled by college – the posted return deadlines and condition criteria apply. See dates posted in Registrar's Office.
Books purchased as new found to be defective will be replaced at no charge and should be returned to the bookstore immediately. Books purchased as used will be exchanged only during the refund period and if the bookstore still has used books available. If you wait until the end of the semester to report a defective book, the book may not be considered for buyback.
Books and videos purchased for prerequisite or continuing classes may be returned with receipt for refund during the refund period for the prerequisite class only. Example: The book used for both Accounting I & Accounting II would only be eligible for a refund during the refund period for the Accounting I class.
Students will be notified of the book's arrival via their email account. The customer can request a full refund if needed for either two weeks after the email notification is sent or at the 8 week refund period whichever is longer after which time the book will only be considered for buy back at the end of the semester. Customer's yellow copy of the reservation form is required for pick up for refund. Special orders are non-refundable.
