What is the new Naz Bookstore Day One, Books Done textbook rental program?

• lowers costs of books and course materials for students
• ensures all students have access to all required course materials on or before the first day of class
• digital materials are delivered directly within Moodle
• physical books are conveniently packaged and provided to students on a rental basis (to return at the end of the semester to the bookstore)

Who’s eligible?

Full-time and part-time Nazareth undergraduates — unless studying abroad — will be enrolled automatically, for spring 2025 and beyond.

How does it work?

1. Register for your classes. The bookstore will start preparing your course materials.
2. About a month before the new semester, an email asks you to verify your order and select in-store pickup or direct shipping to you. (Default: in-store pickup.)
3. An email alerts you when your order is ready for pickup or when it ships.
4. Your digital materials appear in Moodle.

What is included in the program?

The program provides all required textbooks, lab manuals, access codes, and digital textbook versions to undergraduate students. 

What is excluded from the program?

The program does not include consumables that cannot be returned and reused such as lab goggles, dissection kits, molecular model kits, or nursing kits.

Can I opt out?

• Yes, you can opt out online starting Dec. 16, 2024, until the semester’s add/drop deadline (for spring: Jan. 27, 2025). The portal will show cost comparisons for your books.
• Opting out cancels your package of required books, and your access to digital content will end at the deadline.
• To buy course materials after opting out, see the bookstore website.

What if I have any trouble accessing digital materials?

When are my textbook rentals due back to the bookstore?

• Deadline: last day of finals
• You will receive email reminders about the rental deadline
• If rental textbooks are not returned to the bookstore by the due date, students will be assessed a replacement and non-return processing fee. The replacement fee is 75% of the new book price at the time of purchase and the non-return processing fee is 7.5% of the new book price at the time of purchase. 
  

Can I buy my rented textbook?

Yes, you’ll have the option to purchase textbooks at a reduced rate during the return period.

Do I need to return books if they are for a continuation course?

Yes, you are required to return continuation course textbooks. You will be issued the same title for the next semester of the continuation course.

What happens if I never verify my order?

• You will receive emails and phone calls from the bookstore to remind you to verify your order.
• Any printed materials will be in the bookstore for you to pick up.
• Your digital materials will be in Moodle.

What if I drop a class?

• Return the book to the bookstore before the add/drop deadline for the semester.
• If you drop a class and enroll in a different class during the add/drop period, the bookstore will “swap” the required textbooks/codes so that you have what you need.
