Northwest Missouri State University Textbook Services has announced the hours it will open for students to return fall textbooks. Students must return all textbooks before 5 p.m. Friday, Dec. 13, to avoid late fees.

Textbook Services is located inside the lower level of The Station. Textbook return hours are:

• Monday, Dec. 9: 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
• Tuesday, Dec. 10: 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.

• Thursday, Dec. 12: 8 a.m. to 7 p.m.
• Friday, Dec. 13: 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Students who are taking all of their classes online during the spring 2020 semester also may pick up their spring textbooks during the above hours.

Students who took online courses only this fall should ship their textbooks so Textbook Services receives them within the week after final exams are complete. Students should have a tracking number for reference and ship textbooks to:

Textbook Services
Northwest Missouri State University
800 University Drive
Maryville, MO 64468

Textbook pickup hours for the spring 2020 semester are:

• Sunday, Jan. 12: noon to 5 p.m.

Students must verify online before picking up spring textbooks, and textbooks picked up after the designated times will be assessed a late fee.

A hallmark of Northwest’s emphasis on providing students access to an affordable education, Northwest provides laptops and textbooks to students as part of their tuition, ensuring all students have access to the tools they need to be successful in the classroom. Northwest launched its textbook rental program in 1922 and the laptop rental program in 2005. The programs save students an estimated $7,400 during their four-year academic career, compared to students attending other institutions.
