Follett Textbook Rental Returns
ALL RENTALS WILL NEED TO BE RETURNED BY FEDEX/UPS. We do not anticipate being able to accept rental returns in person.

U.S. - Shipping labels can now be printed for 30 days post check-in date. An email was sent to all rental patrons last week with this information.

Students can log into their rental account at [http://www.shastacollegeshop.com(bottom]www.shastacollegeshop.com(bottom of the page). If they did not set up an account, one was automatically set up for them. They will use the email address that the rental account was set up under and they will just have to choose the reset password option to create a password and access their account and print their shipping label.

If a student cannot print a label they may drop the book off at the Shasta College Redding Main Campus as a last resort. Each book being dropped off MUST have a slip of paper inside the front cover with the student’s name, email address, and phone number printed legibly on it.

Grace Period: Extended grace period from 3 days to 15 days after May 15th.

Suspended Status: Turned off any rental patron going to suspended status for not returning their rentals until June 30, 2020.

Accounts in Collections: Collections are on hold until further notice.
