The bookstore is more than just a provider of new, used, and rental textbooks. They have a variety of DACC/ Jaguar apparel, coffee mugs, and other DACC merchandise, school supplies, backpacks, electronics, and more. For more information on textbook prices, ISBN numbers, store hours and what the bookstore has to offer, visit the DACC Bookstore website at https://dacc.edu/bookstore. Students may also purchase or rent textbooks directly from the website. Please note that through the Follett ACCESS program, some textbook costs are built into the course fees. Follett ACCESS is a cost savings program wherein course materials are assessed as a course fee upon registration. In addition, students will have access to materials on the first day of class. This program allows students to not only save money, but to attend class with the confidence that they are prepared to succeed. All Follett ACCESS courses require the digital version of the main textbook or eBook. There are courses that may also require the physical version of the main text. This cost is also included in the course fee. There may be courses that do not require the physical text, however, if a physical text is preferred, it is available in the bookstore in loose-leaf form and must be purchased out of pocket; it is only included in the course fee if it is required by the instructor. The bookstore typically keeps 1-3 copies of this low-cost

loose-leaf version of the book in stock.

Book buy-back is year round, however, students will have a better chance of selling their book back during the week of finals. A DACC ID or schedule is required for book buy-back.

If you have any questions, please contact the bookstore at follett@dacc.edu or call 217-443-8759.
