Alternative Ways to Receive Your Textbooks

Textbook Rental - In-store or Online

 

Instead of purchasing, you can now rent many of your textbooks both in-store or online. We have partnered with two of the largest book rental companies in the country to offer these services to NYU students.

 


In-store Rental -Textbooks that are available for in-store rental will have a green sticker on the shelf tag. After selecting the textbooks you would like to rent, you should proceed to the rental kiosks located opposite the cash registers. The rental kiosks require your NYU N-number, e-mail address and credit card for payment.
