As the semester winds down, you will need to return textbook rentals to the CSU Bookstore. Below are instructions on how to return textbook rentals to ensure you are not assessed any late fees or charged to replace unreturned textbooks.

CAUTION: These instructions are only for textbooks rented from the CSU Bookstore.

Option 1: Return textbook rentals to the CSU Bookstore before Sell Back

You can drop off your textbook rentals at the CSU bookstore during normal business hours. Bring your textbook rentals, along with your student ID, to the lower level registers near Cam’s Lobby Shop/CSU Transit Center where a CSU Bookstore employee will process the rental return.

Option 2: Return rental textbooks during Sell Back

During finals week, return your textbook rentals to one of our four sell back locations across campus. Bring your student id, your rental books, and any textbooks you wish to sell to any of the sell back locations, and we will process the rental return.

Option 3: Send rental textbooks to the CSU Bookstore

Students attending classes off campus must send their CSU textbook rentals back to the CSU Bookstore. The customer is responsible for shipping costs necessary to return textbook rentals. CSU Bookstore encourages students sending rented textbooks back to the CSU Bookstore to use a trackable method, such as USPS Media Mail or UPS Ground.

You should carefully pack your rented textbook(s) and mail to:

CSU Bookstore
Attn: RENTAL RETURNS
8035 Campus Delivery
Fort Collins, CO 80523-8035

Please include your name and student ID number to ensure your textbook rental return is recorded correctly. Rental returns without this information may result in late fees or replacement book charges.
