Important Book Return Information:

  • Rental/PSEO students receive a "return slip" sent to their Normandale student email addresses several weeks the semester ends.
    • This lists all materials that are required to be returned, and the cost you will be charged if they are not returned.
  • Unreturned and/or damaged materials will incur charges and late fees.
  • We will only be accepting Spring 2025 Rentals and PSEO materials.
    • Rental or PSEO materials from any other semesters cannot be accepted.
  • All rental/PSEO course materials must be returned in resalable condition. Books with water/liquid damage, torn pages/covers, excessive writing/highlighting, etc. will be considered damaged.
    • Liquid damaged books will not be accepted, as this type of damage cannot be repaired.
  • Unreturned and/or damaged books will lead to fees placed on your eServices account, which could result in registration holds if they are not addressed within the allotted time.
  • PLEASE NOTE: Exceptions to our book return policy can only be granted for students with prior permission or extraordinary circumstances.

 

What is Considered a Damaged Book?

  • Water/liquid staining of any kind,
  • Torn pages,
  • Torn or bent covers,
  • Excessive writing and/or highlighting (more than needed for studying, drawing on pages, etc.),
