Available to all full-time, permanent ECU staff and faculty, and their eligible dependent children and spouses.Textbook Loan Application Process:
1) Contact the Dowdy Student Stores in the Wright Building or the Brody Medical Bookstore for a Textbook Loan Program application as soon as you know you plan to register for class. A downloadable .pdf application is available by clicking here. Be sure to print the completed file before closing, as the data will not be saved with the file.
Applications must be submitted by the program deadline, and the following supporting paperwork can be submitted as soon as it is available to you and is not subject to a deadline date:
- One copy of your "receipt for payment" from Banner or OneStop
- Your complete textbook listing from OneStop indicating if a book is Optional or Required.
-Log on to ECU's OneStop
-Under the "Tools Tab" in the "Courses" category select "Textbook Listing"
-Select your current semester term
2) Email your supporting paperwork to TEXTBOOKLOAN@ECU.EDU or bring your supporting paperwork to the Dowdy Student Store in the Wright Building or the Medical Bookstore in Brody 1S-04.
You will be required to sign an agreement to return loaned books within three business days following the final exam, or immediately upon withdrawal from the course or separation of employment from the university, whichever comes first. The replacement cost of the books will be due if the books are not returned in satisfactory condition by the date specified. A separate completed textbook loan application must be filled out for each semester and for each person in the family who plans to apply. Semesters include Fall, Spring, Summer 1 and Summer 2, and the 11-week summer term.
Notification will be sent by email via the ANNOUNCE listserv when textbook loan applications are approved and books may be picked up. (Click here for directions on how to subscribe to the ECU Announce List.)
