As a student, we realize the importance of obtaining the right textbooks and coursepacks at the right time. We also believe that the Biola University Bookstore provides the following benefits:

1. A knowledgeable staff who is familiar with the campus, knows your faculty, and has worked in cooperation with them to acquire the appropriate materials.
2. A staff willing to go beyond normal customer service duties in assisting students and parents in the transition to college life.
3. Student-friendly return policies in case a student drops a class or has a schedule change, with no need to pay for shipping these returned books across the country.
4. Systems in place to accept campus-specific payment methods such as scholarship funds and financial aid. The ability to take credit card payments, and personal checks from local banks.
5. Making used books available is the single most significant way that college bookstores are reducing the cost of textbooks for students. According to estimates from the National Association of College Stores, college bookstores have saved students more than $2 billion over the past ten years by making used books available. Buying used books may save college students even more than buying new textbooks from any other source.
6. Buyback services enable students to get extra money at the end of the term for books they no longer need or want. Our goal is to give you 67% of your money back during our biannual Buyback events.
7. Proceeds from the Bookstore help fund various student services that directly benefit students like the fitness center, security cameras and the new security gate.
