Three Ways to Save Money on Textbooks!

The Hawkeye Bookstore offers three ways to save money on your textbooks:

1. Rent textbooks when available.
2. Purchase used books.
3. Purchase eBooks.

Student Book Purchase Policy

Hawkeye Bookstore is an independently operated bookstore located in the Hawkeye Center on Hawkeye's Main Campus.

Hawkeye allows all registered students to charge required textbooks, software, calculators, and flash drives to their student college account. The allowed charging dates are ten calendar days prior to the first day of the semester through the tenth calendar day of the semester.

Students are responsible for any bookstore charges added to their student college account if they do not have enough financial aid to cover the expense.

Students have the option to pay Hawkeye Bookstore directly, without charging to their student college account.

Students with approved financial aid may receive a Guernsey Loan to pay for required textbooks, software, calculators, and flash drives for late start classes. Contact the Business Services office for more information.

Methods of Payment

We accept the following methods of payment:

• Master Card, Visa, Discover, and American Express
• cash
• Hawkeye Bookstore gift certificates

• charged to your Student Account. You can charge your books to your Student Account at the beginning of the semester. You must be registered for classes.
  
  For summer classes, you can charge your books May 23 - June 6, 2013. For Fall classes you can charge your books August 16 - September 4, 2013.

  If you have financial aid left over after your tuition and fees have been paid, you can apply your financial aid toward your books.
