Inver Hills Textbook Rentals
Rental books are great options for students looking to save money on course materials. Our rental book program can save students up to 75% when compared to the price of brand new textbooks.
Why Rent?
As mentioned above, the biggest advantage to renting textbooks is the lower cost to the student.
What Are the Disadvantages?
You MUST remember to return all rented textbooks, free from damage, by the last day of the term or you will pay MORE than the purchase price of the book(s).
Will I Get Money Back When I Return My Rental?
No. Renting your textbooks offers savings up-front so there is no refund when you return your rental. Rented books remain the property of the Inver Hills Campus Store while you use them.
How to Rent Titles Online:
- Titles with the option of being rented will be displayed when you search for your course materials.

How Do I Return My Rentals?
Please see the Inver Hills Rental Return Instructions.
You are also welcome to return your books early if your class ends before the due date. However, if you return a book early because you think you won't need it anymore, then change your mind, we can't re-rent it to you without you paying the rental fees again. So be sure you're done before you return the book.
Note: Books rented through Inver Hills Campus Store website must be returned to the Campus Store. Books rented through other vendors must be returned as per your agreement with them. The Campus Store does NOT have access to rental records from any other vendors.
What Happens If I Do Not Return My Rentals by the Due Date?
Rented textbooks must be returned to the Inver Hills Campus Store by the last day of the term by 4pm. If a rented book is not returned by the deadline, you will be charged the difference between the full retail price and the rental fee, plus a $25 late fee per book. No late returns will be accepted.
Requirements:
- Students must be enrolled at Inver Hills Community College and have a valid Student ID number.
- Students must agree to the terms of the Textbook Rental Agreement online.
