Summer 2026 rental list submissions are officially open! Submitting your rental list early helps maximize savings for students while giving your store more flexibility and options for the upcoming term.
Submitting a rental list to MBS is fast, simple, and requires no contract or agreement, making it an easy way to enhance your course material strategy.
Why Submit Your Rental List to MBS?
Submitting a list for a rental quote allows your store to:
Offer Low‑Cost Options for Students
Rentals provide cost‑conscious students with affordable access to physical course materials, helping reduce overall course costs without sacrificing choice.
Drive Traffic to Your College Store
Rental programs encourage students to visit the store at the beginning and end of the term. Promote competitive pricing, multiple learning formats, and the value your store provides. At the end of term, students return to the store to bring back rental materials, creating additional engagement opportunities.
Lock In Guaranteed Rebates
Once your rental list is submitted, MBS returns guaranteed rebate amounts for qualifying titles. To maximize the number of titles quoted, submit your list as early as possible. As new adoptions come in, you can easily update your quote with additional titles.
Guaranteed Buyback Made Easy
MBS also makes it simple to offer guaranteed buyback on popular titles.
Submit your course material list for a guaranteed buyback quote the same way you submit your rental list. Include all potential guaranteed buyback titles, and MBS will provide guaranteed purchase amounts for titles we will buy back at the end of the term.
As the term progresses, your store can continue updating the quote to include newly adopted titles.
