Use the "Textbook Look-up" tool to find the course materials for your course and section. All prices subject to change and course material refunds must be completed 14 days from class start and items must be in their original sealed packaging. PLEASE ALLOW AT LEAST 7-10 DAYS TO RECEIVE A PACKAGE. Do note, for financial aid orders, we only ship to the address on file with the college. Every order must go through the register system in store, therefore there are NO instantaneous codes. Do NOT place an order if you need access right away, try jjc.redshelf.com, our e-book partner's site that takes credit cards only. The JJC Bookstore does not process orders Saturday, Sunday, Holidays, during college break/recess, and after operational hours during business days. The JJC Bookstore does NOT replace lost or stolen packages. Due to a potential UPS strike, the Bookstore will use other shipping companies and delays are expected as volume increases as other businesses switch carriers as well.  If you are not comfortable with shipping at your own risk, choose in-store pick-up. Please note, when using a credit card, the total amount will be a pre-authorization. When the JJC Bookstore finalizes the sale through the registers, the pre-authorization may take up to 15 business days to "drop off" after the sale is completed and the actual completed sale amount has posted. 

Rentals & Important Dates

Textbook Rentals

FALL 2023 textbook rentals are due DECEMBER 15, 2023 to avoid late and lost fees.

SPRING 2024 textbook rentals are due MAY 17, 2024 to avoid late and lost fees.


For a full refund, rentals MUST be returned within 14 days of class start; no exceptions. Rentals kept past 14 days from class start are NOT eligible for a refund. Late and lost fees will apply to rentals kept past the due and lost dates.

 

 

To check-in your rental, please bring rentals to the JJC Bookstore, Rm A-1012, 1215 Houbolt Road, Joliet, IL 60431 during normal operating hours. Please note, the outdoor rental return bin has been removed from use and the Romeoville Campus Bookstore is no longer in service.


For students who are unable to come to campus, you may mail the rental book back to JJC Bookstore, Rm A-1012, 1215 Houbolt Road, Joliet, IL 60431. Please mail out/postmark the rental by the due date. The student is responsible for all mailing/shipping fees.

 

The FALL 2023 rental lost date is December 20, 2023.

The SPRING 2024 rental lost date is May 22, 2024.


The SUMMER 2023 and previous semesters rentals are now considered lost. Late and lost fees must be paid. 


Any rental book(s) not checked-in by the lost date or any rentals not properly identified, or damaged (as determined by the Bookstore) will be charged to the credit card on file (if applicable) and will include additional charges including a $10 late fee per rental, sales tax, and the difference between the retail price minus the original rental charge. All unpaid lost rentals will result with a hold placed on the student's JJC account and the balance due will be the total lost amount including all fees.


Please email bookstore@jjc.edu with any questions.
