We will pay you 50 percent of the amount you paid if it was requested by your professors for required use the next term and the bookstore is not overstocked. If books do not meet these criteria, the prices we pay are based on current national demand. All books must be in good condition. Some books have little or no monetary value. Out-of-print books and old editions are not in national demand, and we do not buy them. Off-campus students can request buyback quotes online at http://nsubooks.bncollege.com . Bursar See Enrollment and Student Services section. Campus Shuttle To accommodate NSU students, a fleet of six shuttle buses has been added to service the permanent buildings on our 300-acre main campus. A fixed-route transit circulator system consisting of one two-directional route will be running on the NSU campus weekdays from 7:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m. Although the buses will have a designated path to follow around the university, there are no set bus stops on campus. Rather, those wishing for a lift are encouraged to wave and ride as the buses make their respective rounds or wait for the buses in front of university buildings. If you have any questions or need information about our shuttle routes, please contact facilities management at extension 28940.
