We ask that parents send more than one check with the student who will be living away from home. It's possible that not all of your books and supplies will be available at one time or something may come up requiring additional funds. Please remember that The Co-op Store and the University are two separate accounts one can not accept money for the other. Also keep in mind that local banks usually will not cash checks from outside a radius of 50 miles. This depends on what courses you are taking and whether you buy new or used textbooks.
Used textbooks are just as the name implies.
Whenever possible The Co-op Store sells used textbooks for all requisitioned classes. The only times used books might not be available would be in the case of a new edition or a late order from a professor. Lab manuals are always new. The Co-op Store will buy your textbooks from you. This is one of the ways we purchase these used books.
