We will check our little office library & contact you if we have the book(s) you are looking for and then schedule a pickup time at our Westminster Office before the Spring semester begins in January.

If we do not have your book available to borrow:

1. Try to find a copy to rent through your community college or a textbook retailer like Amazon or Chegg. Rented books must be returned to the textbook retailer as outlined on your receipt.
2. If a rental textbook is not available, you may purchase your textbook.

Be sure to save your rental or purchased textbook receipts and class syllabus to submit with your textbook reimbursement request later this spring.

The Reimbursement Request form link and deadlines will be published in our March newsletter.

Did You Receive a Bill from the Community College?

Sometimes the community colleges will send a bill, or you may see a statement with a balance owed when you log into your community college student account - it may even show past due. You do not need to pay this bill.

Billing is reconciled between the community college and CEC each semester.

Should you ever exceed your funds for the school year, CEC will bill you directly, after the school year ends (Summer 2025).

If you have any questions or are wondering if you need to pay a bill you received from the community college, please reach out to your advisor to confirm, before you pay. *Unless you are taking additional classes as self-pay.

Registration closes on May 3rd, SIGN UP TODAY!
