Southeastern Louisiana University

Textbook Rental

Southeastern is the only university in the state of Louisiana where students rent their textbooks rather than buy them.  Textbook Rental provides Southeastern students an economical alternative to purchasing textbooks.  You can expect to save hundreds of dollars each semester on textbook costs alone!

The current rental fee for a course which has a rental book is $35 regardless of the number of textbooks required for a course.  Some courses do require the purchase of supplemental workbooks or manuals which are sold by the Follett University Bookstore.  Students interested in building a professional library do have the option of purchasing their rental textbooks.

IMPORTANT THINGS TO REMEMBER:

• Anyone can return your textbooks
• Your student ID is NOT required to return textbooks
• Store closes at 6:00PM during finals and the first business day following the last day of final exams
• Book Drop is available after hours and on weekends
• Dropped books are checked in the following business day

Books not available through the Textbook Rental System will need to be purchased.  These books can be purchased from the University Bookstore or other sources.  Information regarding books that students will need to purchase can be found by visiting selu.edu/books2buy.  Click on the tab labeled FIND YOUR TEXTBOOKS AND COURSE MATERIALS.  From there, you can search for information for each of the classes that you are enrolled in for the semester to find the necessary information to purchase the required book either from Follett University or some other source (Course, section, title, author, and ISBN number).  PLEASE NOTE THAT YOU ARE FREE TO PURCHASE THESE BOOKS FROM ANY SOURCE YOU CHOOSE.  The information regarding required books to purchase will be updated regularly so we encourage you to visit the Web site frequently.
