The institution includes the cost of textbook use in tuition and fees. The cost the institution can offer students is below competitive market rates. Students have the right to opt out of this program and purchase books themselves.

Failure to do so will result in the student being charged the replacement cost of all unreturned books. Students should be aware that they may not use Title IV funds to cover these costs if these charges occur after their withdraw date.
