The
EPCC bookstore has just integrated a new link to its online service.
Students may use this service once they have registered online to
purchase textbooks and compare prices.
VV bookstore store manager Patricia Rodriguez has seen a 20 percent
increase in online sales. Students who purchase online have the option
of picking up the textbooks at the store or may request to receive
them through the mail.
Since the college began its link from financial aid to Wells Fargo,
financial aid charges are no longer accepted at the bookstores.
Although this is an inconvenience at time, the bookstore is trying
to give students more options such as price match. This semester is
the first where the college bookstores offered a price match promotion.
The promotion is meant to match the price of any new or used textbook
price to local textbook outlets in El Paso.
In addition to the new link and the price match promotion, the bookstore
buys back used textbooks every day.
“Last year, we paid over a million dollars on used textbooks,”
said Rodriguez.
To take advantage of these offers, students may visit any campus EPCC
Bookstore or log on to http://epcc.bookstore.com.
