The following are some terms that you will see when purchasing textbooks/course material on eCampus.
Rent You are renting the textbook and will be required to return it at the end of the semester. Save the box that the book came in as you are responsible for shipping the textbook back at the end of the term.
eTextbooks eTextbooks are available as online or downloadable versions—this varies based on the publisher. eTextbooks contain the same content as a print textbook. Please select carefully as returns and refunds are subject to strict limitations.
