Are books in shrinkwrap returnable?

Shrinkwrapped books are returnable within the return period, as long as they are unopened and you have your receipt.  Loose-leaf textbooks that have been opened are non-returnable.

If you have opened a bound book package, you will need to speak to a staff member before we can approve a refund.  If your package includes an access card, the card must be unopened and unscratched. A $5.00 fee may be charged to re-shrinkwrap the package.

Why can't I return my book after the return period?

Unfortunately, we too have to conform to deadlines from our publishers and suppliers; if we take back books after our deadline has passed, we risk being unable to return the book to our suppliers.

I am a Continuing Studies student and my course starts mid-term. Can an exception be made for returns?

Continuing Studies courses start at different times during each term so your textbooks are usually outside of our regular returns deadline dates. In general, Continuing Studies students have 1 week from the date of purchase to return or exchange.

Can I claim textbooks tax credits?

Effective January 1st, 2017, the federal education and textbook tax credits were eliminated.  It does not affect the ability to carry forward unused education and textbook credit amounts from years prior to 2017.  Please refer to the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) regarding Line 32300 - Your tuition, education, and textbook amounts.
