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 for a Textbook Loan Program application as soon as you know you plan to register for class. Applications must be submitted by the program deadline, and the following supporting paperwork can be submitted as soon as it is available to you:
- One copy of your official class schedule and "receipt for payment" from the cashier's office or from the Division of Continuing Studies (if the course is an on-line class).
- Your complete textbook listing from OneStop indicating if a book is Optional or Required.
-Log on to ECU's OneStop - www.onestop.ecu.edu
-Under the "Tools Tab" in the "Courses" category select "Textbook Listing"
-Select your current semester term
2) Bring your supporting paperwork to the Dowdy Student Store in the Wright Building or the Medical Bookstore in Brody 1S-04. If you are borrowing required textbooks for a dependent child or spouse, the official class schedule and a copy of your most recent tax return is required. The tax return must list your child or spouse as your dependent. You may also present a marriage certificate in the place of a tax form if you are applying for your spouse. This is required for verification purposes. (Please black out all social security numbers and financial information on this tax return before submitting.) The Brody School of Medicine staff may pick up a Textbook Loan Form at the Medical Bookstore.
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.
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.)
3) To obtain your book(s),visit the business office in the Dowdy Student Stores for your approved application form. Choose the required textbooks for your courses. At check-out, present a copy of the approved application and booklist.
4) Books must be returned by the deadline specified on the form, which is three business days following the final exam for each course.
