Welcome back to WUSA 101, Warriors! Today’s class is all about the WUSA Used Bookstore! 

First, what is the WUSA Used Bookstore? 

This bookstore is where you can find the lowest prices on thousands of textbooks! You can save 20% off the cost of a new textbook. Located in the lower level of SLC, WUSA Used Bookstore has thousands of books for all kinds of courses that are also offered on Amazon. Once you’re done with your textbooks, the WUSA Used Bookstore will sell them for you!  

Here’s how you can sell your textbooks at WUSA Used Bookstore:  

 

How Does it Work?

You get 85% of the selling price once your books are sold. 

If your book doesn’t sell after the 15th month, you can pick it up or leave it with us. After 18 months, the book becomes property of the WUSA Used Bookstore.
