INCLUSIVE ACCESS
Inclusive Access is a program developed in partnership with publishers & faculty to save you money. Access your eBook or Adaptive Learning Product through your UNM Learn account on the first day of classes.
SELL YOUR TEXTBOOKS
The best time to sell your textbooks is right after classes have ended and during finals week each semester. The buyback value of your textbook is higher during this time, because the Bookstore is buying textbooks for the upcoming semester. Although the UNM Bookstore does conduct daily buyback, you will usually receive more for your textbooks during Buyback at the end of the semester. Also, don’t forget your Lobo ID at buyback! It is required to sell back your textbooks. Click here to read more about textbook buyback.
