Metropolitan State University Bookstore

The Metropolitan State University Bookstore is located on the first floor of the Library and Learning Center at the St. Paul Campus. Personal local checks are accepted for the amount of purchase with proper photo identification. The bookstore cannot accept 3rd party checks, starter checks or checks prewritten for a 2nd party use.
Be sure to have your course codes ready when you arrive or call the bookstore. Texts are arranged alpha-numerically by the Subject, number and section (such as ACCT 310-02) Do not use the registration codes (000198). Different sections can use different texts so it is very important to have all three parts to your course codes.

Textbook “buybacks” are based on the needs of the bookstore and the national text market. If a book is being used for a current class and the bookstore needs it for stock, students will receive 50% of their purchase price. If the text is not currently being used/needed at the bookstore, the price is determined based on a national market value, usually 10-33%. Old editions do not have any market value. The bookstore cannot quote buyback prices or need over the phone. To sell texts, students must bring them to the bookstore during open business hours. Student Photo ID is required.
