  • How do I find out what course materials I will need for class?

    Once you have registered for classes, go to MyLC at:   http://apps.lynchburg.edu/myLC_Welcome.htm  click MyLC.

    You will be asked to log on to the College network with your username and network password.  Remember your username is before the @ in your campus e-mail address. You will be given your network user password at orientation.  (Please change your password as soon as possible to something unique).  If you would like information e-mailed to you regarding your network username and password, please e-mail your request to allen_jr@lynchburg.edu.

    Once you have logged onto the network at MyLC,  click studentsonline on the left.  You will be asked for your pin number. If you do not have an LC pin number or can't remember it, read the fine print under the pin number box when logging on to studentsonline. Pressing "here" will send your pin number to your campus e-mail. Read the screen and enter your Social Security number and mm/dd/yy of your birthday without spaces. Next you will see your campus e-mail address. If you do not, contact the ITR Help Desk at 434/544-8350.

    Write down your e-mail address. Your network username is the first part of your campus e-mail before the @. Next type students.lynchburg.edu into your Internet browser. This will take you to the network. Type in your network username. Enter your network user password. Next click continue and then click read. Read the e-mail with the four digit pin number. Now you can return to studentsonline and access the textbook look up.

    Once you have your LC pin number (which is not the same pin given to you for your campus voice mailbox) go to return to MyLC again at http://apps.lynchburg.edu/myLC_Welcome.htm,  log onto the network again, click studentsonline, and enter your pin number.

    Once logged on to studentsonline click on Class Schedule.

    Pick the term (Fall, Spring, or Summer) in the pull down box that says current term. Do not use current term. Next click the box to include textbook information. Then click submit. By using the scroll bar to the right you will note your course schedule and corresponding textbook information whether it is required, whether new and used are available, and the cost and quantity in stock.

    Caution: Items listed are subject to change. Information can be viewed as relatively stable two weeks prior to the semester starting.

  • What if I can't see my course materials listed online?
    You must be registered for the classes to see them online. If you are a new student, you must have attended SOAR (Student Orientation). Once you have registered for the course and completed SOAR, you will see course materials for your classes listed at MyLC  http://apps.lynchburg.edu/myLC_Welcome.htm under studentsonline or you will see NO TEXT REQUIRED or INSTRUCTOR HAS NOT PLACED ORDER if course materials are not listed.
  • Where can I find my course materials in the store?
    Bring your class schedule or online printout with you to the store. You may also print this information out on our store computer. Course materials are in alphabetical order by course abbreviation (example ENGL), then numeric order by course number (example 111) and then alpha by section letter. Staff in the bookstore are available for assistance.
  • Will there be any used books available?
    Used books are placed above the shelf tag for the course along with the new books. You can go online to see the quantity of used books in stock. If the book is available in the used book market and the instructor has approved the use of used books in his/her course, the bookstore does its best to have these available.
  • How early should I buy my textbook/course materials?
    It is recommended that you go to class first to see exactly what the professor wants you to purchase. However entry level 101 courses are fairly standard and the supply of used books available tends to sell out quickly. Only LC students will be permitted to buy textbooks the first two weeks of classes. Please bring your I.D. or class schedule. You may purchase course materials two weeks prior to classes starting. Professors do change their minds regarding course materials, so do not write or open packages (take plastic off) until you go to class. You will be able to get a refund if ----see the question below regarding refunds.
  • May I return a book for a refund?
    The refund policy will be attached to your sales receipt at the time of purchase. Your sales receipt is required for a refund. Refunds are made in the manner purchased. New course materials must be unmarked and in original shrink-wrap. Used books have an earlier refund deadline (first week of class) than the new books refund deadline  (third week of class).
  • I can't get to the store during the hours it is open. What can I do?
    Please be sure to check our extended hours on the home page, but if work and other obligations prevent you from getting to the store during operating hours, please call 434/544-8240 or 434/544-8241 to request books via credit card by phone. You will need your class schedule or online printout. Course materials will be left at the information desk for you which is open twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week.
  • When may I sell my used books for cash?
    You may sell your used books weekdays during the exam period at the end of the semester in the bookstore from 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Special two-day buy backs are held at the start of each semester. Check the homepage for dates under special events. Do not sell your book if it is being used in the second semester continuation course.
  • How much can I expect to pay for my course materials?
    This varies depending on the classes you take. An average for first semester freshmen is $550. Several of these books will be used again second semester in continuation courses.
  • What options do I have to pay for my course materials?
    Cash, personal check (home bank is fine), LC College Account, VISA, MasterCard, or Discover credit/debit/check cards.
  • My course materials are not on the shelf. When can I expect them to arrive?
    A week prior to classes starting, expected arrival date shelf tags are updated to give the estimated delivery date of the textbook/course material. They may come in earlier so keep checking the shelf. Course materials will appear on the shelf before they appear in stock online.
