Campus Store

Book Buyback helps the Campus Store keep an extensive selection of used books in stock. This event is available to everyone other than Book Scholarship & Book Rental students. If you purchased your textbooks and did not sign a rental or book scholarship agreement, you can sell your books for cash. Please do not sell scholarship or rental books for cash; you will be charged for them. 

New for 2022-2023. We will buy back your textbooks anytime, during business hours, with the exception of the start of a semester. This time is reserved for those students who are purchasing/ordering textbooks. We will still hold a buyback during final exam week at the conclusion of each semester. Be sure to check the Campus Store website for specific times and dates.  

Buyback is a service offered to our students by the Campus Store staff.

The Campus Store does not decide which textbooks to use for each course. Your instructors and the head of each department are responsible for the textbook selection. Once they have made a decision, they tell the Campus Store which books to order. The Campus Store encourages faculty to make their decisions early so that we can find more used copies and keep them on hand.

•    If an instructor changes a book after the class starts, the student can exchange it for the correct book (see refund policy for additional information on deadlines http://www.hutchcc.edu/campus-store/textbooks)

•    If a class is canceled by the college, the student can return the book for a full refund (see refund policy for additional information on deadlines http://www.hutchcc.edu/campus-store/textbooks)

•    The Campus Store is owned and operated by Hutchinson Community College for the benefit of our community. All proceeds from our operations are returned to the college.

Book scholarships cover textbooks that can be reused in future semesters. Lab manuals, workbooks, and other consumables cannot be reused, so they are not eligible for a book scholarship. In addition, a textbook must be used for 6 semesters and listed as required to be eligible for a book scholarship.

We staple a copy of our refund policy to your receipt at the time of purchase. You can also review the Campus Store Refund Policy. If you have questions, please contact the Campus Store.

Yes, the Campus Store offers a rental program. Rental eligible titles and prices vary from semester to semester.  Our rental program is only available during the Fall and Spring semesters. 

The rental program does require the student to come into one of the Campus Store locations (Hutchinson, McPherson, Newton) to sign a contract. 

High school students are not currently eligible to for our rental program.

It depends on how you are paying for your textbooks.

Book scholarship students must come into the Campus Store in Hutchinson to sign a contract before they can charge books to their scholarship. Books cannot be shipped to a book scholarship student. 

Book Rental students can go to any of the Campus Store locations (Hutchinson, McPherson, Newton) and sign a book rental agreement.  At this time, book rentals are not available online.

If you are paying with a credit/debit card, you may order your textbooks online. Log in to DragonZone and click the Academics>Textbooks tab. Add your textbooks to your shopping cart, select your payment method, and have your textbooks shipped to your front door or have them ready for pickup at any of our HutchCC locations and avoid the lines! It’s FAST, EASY, and SECURE!!  Your order status and note area will be updated with shipping USPS shipping information or that the order is ready for pick up. 

If you are using Financial aid, Payment Plan, or Third Party Pay, you can choose to have your books shipped or picked up at any of our HutchCC locations. Not all awards will cover shipping, we will contact you for shipping payment. To submit your order request for ordering please email campusstore@hutchcc.edu with the course id, book title, and ISBN of the books you want to order. Make sure to include your shipping address, including apartment number if one is required for delivery. Orders are shipped using USPS and you will receive notification if you have registered with USPS for informed delivery.  

Cash, check, and credit/debit card.
Financial aid. This could include some or all of the following: Grants, loans, scholarships (excluding Hutchcc book scholarships). Please use DragonZone to view your financial aid or contact the Financial Aid office to see if you qualify. Financial aid can be used to purchase any items in the store, including textbooks, computers, clothing, school supplies, etc.

Book a scholarship. A student can be awarded a book scholarship through one of the departments on campus (ex: Athletics, Admissions, Fine Arts, etc). Book scholarship students must come into the Campus Store in Hutchinson to sign a contract before they can charge books to their scholarship. Book scholarships can only be used to take out required textbooks for the classes a student is currently enrolled in. Clothing and other supplies do not qualify.

Payment Plan. You will need to complete the online enrollment process prior to coming to the Campus Store to purchase textbooks.  You can do this by logging into DragonZone, going to Finances>Account>, then clicking the button that says “Sign up for Payment Plan”. The Payment Plan can be used to purchase any items in the store, including textbooks, clothing, school supplies, etc.

Third-Party Pay. With this payment method, a company or organization has set up an account with the business office so they can pay for your textbooks and be billed at a later date. Please make sure the business office has received all the necessary paperwork before coming to the Campus Store to purchase textbooks.

Textbook requirements, including price, are available on your DragonZone by going to Academics>Textbooks.  

By clicking on the arrow next to the course ID, you will be able to see all book information, including cost, ISBN number, and if the book is currently in stock. 

Students must have a student ID card to purchase textbooks and a copy of their schedule to help locate them on our shelves.  

Our bookshelves are organized alphabetically by the course ID, which is listed on the class schedule. Without the schedule, it can be very difficult to find the correct textbooks.

All students enrolled in a class at HutchCC are assigned a Student ID number. This ID number can be found in DragonZone on your profile page. You will need to visit the Student ID Center, located in the basement of the Student Union, to obtain a Student ID card before coming to purchase your books.  

You can also find your schedule online in your DragonZone

The best time to purchase your textbooks is within one to two weeks of the first day of class, as this will be when the optimum quantities of textbooks will be on the shelf.  

The Campus Store is the home of your Blue Dragon gear, such as hoodies, t-shirts, hats, lanyards, children’s clothing, and many other items.  We also have school supplies (notebooks, binders, paper, pens, pencils, computers, earbuds, etc.) and many other gift items for graduates and alumni.  

We also stock various educational resources such as BarCharts/ Quick Study guides for various subjects, flashcards, and reference books. 

HutchCC has been implementing more digital course materials. We currently have Cengage Unlimited (CU), Inclusive Access (IA) or eBooks (eBook). The Inclusive Access and eBooks are delivered via the VitalSource platform. Cengage Unlimited is a different platform. All materials are accessed via the course in LearningZone. Please do not purchase from the platforms directly. These items are not "in-stock" on the textbook page, they are digital materials. 

Cengage Unlimited: There is a single Cengage Fee of $109.00 charged per semester if a student has one or more courses using Cengage Unlimited materials. This is charged like a course fee and is has no "opt-out" option. The material will be accessed via the course in LearningZone. Course content is available 3 days prior to the start date of the course. For the best experience please use only the following browsers: Chrome or Firefox. You will need to register with Cengage the first time accessing a book. Please use your DragonZone email address and access the registration from the LearningZone course portal. Do not go directly to Cengage to register your account. 

VitalSource (IA or eBook): These materials will have a charge posted to your student account. This platform does allow you to opt-out; however, I would advise you to not opt-out until you know for sure you will not need any courseware materials that are only available via this resource. At this time, there are no course adoptions on this platform with a cost over $100. The average is currently running around $50 per item. This is subject to change dependent on the books and courseware material adopted by faculty.
