ASWOU Book Exchange
What is the Book Exchange?
The Book Exchange is a way for students to sell and buy used textbooks for their classes. Students can sell their used textbooks in the Book Exchange, and other students have the ability to buy the book through their Portal. You can search for a book by the ISBN Number. The Book Exchange is a way to make college more affordable.
The Book Exchange is operated by the ASWOU Vice President and the ASWOU Chief of Staff.
How does it work?
To put your books in the Book Exchange, log onto your Portal and click the Book Exchange tab. The seller sets the price for the book. If someone buys your book through our program, all of the money goes to the seller. ASWOU does not charge a fee to use this program!
Books are in the Book Exchange system for one year, after which it becomes ASWOU property.
