Serving SEMO

SEMO’s Textbook Rental reduces the expenses of earning a college education by offering a fixed rental fee per course of $38 plus tax for our undergraduate and some graduate courses, and $55 plus tax for select graduate courses. This is a savings of more than 50% on average compared to the purchase price of a new textbook. The rental fee is placed on your University student account. Textbooks are rented for the semester and are due by 4:00 p.m. the Monday after finals week. Read Agreement & Policy, and the FAQ for more information.
