    Please contact the registration office and/or financial aid office.

I was charged a different amount than what is on my order confirmation.

  • When you placed your order, there was a page that asked you if you would allow substitutions or if you wanted a certain condition "Only". If you "Prefer Used" and we do not have used, you will get a new copy.
    If you wanted used "only", and we only have new, your order will be cancelled since you didn't allow substitutions. All titles are subject to availability,substitution and prices are subject to change without notice. If you feel that you were charged incorrectly please contact the bookstore at
    bookstore@mchenry.edu; please be sure to include your name and order number so that we may research your order.
