At least 45 days prior to the first day of class, EFSC posts a list of the materials required for each course offered during the upcoming term. This is in compliance with Florida Statute 1004.085.

The list includes the International Standard Book Number (ISBN) or other identifying information for each required textbook, as well as the title, all listed authors and publishers, the edition number, the copyright date, and the date of publication.

All EFSC Bookstore locations and the online store accept the following forms of payment:

• Credit Cards: Mastercard/Visa/Discover/American Express
• Barnes & Noble Gift Cards
• Student Financial Aid - Book Vouchers (for select items; "Student Financial Aid" is also available as a payment choice online )

The EFSC Bookstore buys back used textbooks every day, and this buy-back process is available online during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The best time to sell back used books is when final exams begin. The Bookstores will pay you up to 50% of the book’s selling price if professors have assigned it for the next term and if the Bookstore is not overstocked. If the book does not meet these criteria, its buy-back price is determined by the current national demand.

Study guides and workbooks must be in like-new condition, without any writing on the pages. All other books must be in good condition. Some books have little or no monetary value; one-time use, out-of-print books, and old editions are not in national demand and will not be purchased. A valid student ID is required to process all buy-back transactions.
