A unique service available to you as a student at UWSP. It is a rental library system where you will check out most of your course books and return them at the end of the semester. | |

Cost > |
Rental fees are calculated on a per credit basis.
A full-time regular undergraduate UWSP student pays $65.40 per semester
(September 2007)
to rent approximately $300+ worth of textbooks. The fee is automatically
included in tuition.
The cost of books and supplies for the academic year does not vary much from two-year to four-year institutions, or from public to private schools. The expense for books and supplies ranged from $745 to $843 in 2003-04 according to figures reported by The College Board. (Chronicle of Higher Education - August 27, 2004) |
