Richmond, VA, 06/12/2019 – As Reynolds Community College students prepare for the start of another academic year, the Reynolds Community College Campus Bookstore teams are ready to support student success with a range of course material affordability options - including used books, text rental, digital content and price match.
As part of Follett's
network of more than 1,200 campus stores and 1,600 virtual stores, Reynolds
Community College Campus Bookstores offers the largest inventory of used books
in the industry as well as Follett's ever-growing text rental program. Students
renting through the campus store can enjoy risk-free rental policies while
saving up to 80 percent compared to purchasing new.
Follett's rental program
saved students nationwide more than $239 million during the 2018-2019 academic
year. These savings were made possible through campus store managers’ efforts
to drive rental adoptions with faculty, the expansion of Follett’s national
rental library (more than 27,000 titles were added), and giving professors the
options to make their adopted titles rentable locally or by campus.
For students interested
in exploring digital options, Reynolds Community College Campus Bookstores
offers a wide range of digital learning technologies including Follett's
BryteWave digital textbook reader and study tool. Many digital titles provide
anytime, anywhere access as well as varying discounts compared to purchasing
new print materials.
"Reynolds Community
College Campus Bookstores are excited to help Reynolds Community College
students save big this year. Our goal is to ensure each student has affordable
access to their needed materials," said Lucy Jones, Reynolds Community
College DTC Bookstore manager. "We’re focused on driving down student
costs by providing a variety of format options and offering our popular price
match program.”
Per Reynolds Community
College Campus Bookstores’ price match program, if students find course
materials that they purchased at the campus store advertised at a lower price
from a qualifying competitor, they are eligible to receive the difference in
price from the campus store. This guarantees students get their materials at
the lowest cost possible and allows them to apply price match funds to supplies
or other needed materials.
For more information on
price match or the various ways to save on course materials, simply drop by the
Reynolds Community College Campus Bookstores or go to eFollett.com.
