As you know, over the course of the term, many students have probably forgotten which books they bought and which books they rented from the college store. Sending students consistent and frequent communication about rental returns can help your store get more books back.
Course materials are an essential part of the learning process and help secure academic success. This term, remind students why it is important to get their course materials and share a few tips about how they can save money buying from the college store.
