Students have several different textbook purchase options: new, used, rental, e-Books and Market Place (not all options may be available for all textbooks). Ordering through the NPC Online Bookstore allows students the convenience of selling their books back at the end of the fall and spring semesters (not available at all campus locations).
Be sure to order at least 3-4 weeks BEFORE classes start to ensure you get your books in time!

- Please note that you are NOT required to purchase your textbooks from the NPC Online Bookstore and can choose to purchase textbooks from another vendor. You should be aware of any vendor's return policy, since NPC classes can be canceled. Students assume all liability for the cost of purchased textbooks and the ability to return those textbooks should their classes be canceled. Always use the ISBN number to ensure you purchase the correct edition you need.
