FAYETTEVILLE – The University of Arkansas Bookstore will offer textbook rental in the bookstore and online at bookstore.uark.edu this fall. The program will offer savings that represent, on average, more than 55 percent off the price of new textbooks.

We are confident that textbook rental is a viable option that our customers will find easy to use and very cost effective.”

The University of Arkansas Bookstore’s textbook rental program will:

  • Include thousands of the most popular textbook titles for rental.
  • Save students money on the course materials they need to succeed academically.
  • Provide students with a new option for fulfilling their course materials needs.
  • Be available to students online at bookstore.uark.edu for easy access.
  • Allow students the freedom to highlight and take notes within the normal limits of acceptable wear and tear associated with coursework materials.
  • Give students the choice to buy their textbooks at the end of the term if they want to keep them.
