GENERAL FAQ
Western Nevada College is committed to the success of our students. One continuing barrier to student success is the high cost of course materials. Our instructional and student services departments, in partnership with our college bookstores, have made great strides in lowering the cost of course materials for students. This has included a combination of zero-cost Open Educational Resources (OER), low-cost digital, rental, and used course materials options. Though we are proud of our efforts so far, we know there is more that we can do. To support our continued drive to lower the cost of course materials for our students, we have entered into a partnership with Textbook Brokers to manage and operate our college bookstores.
Textbook Brokers is well known in Nevada and throughout the country for their market competitive pricing and excellent customer service!
The partnership with Textbook Brokers will begin on July 1, 2021.
Yes, the new Western Nevada College bookstore website services all three campuses.
