BOOKSTORE HOURS

The Bookstore is located in King Hall on the first floor. Bookstore hours are Monday through Thursday, from 8:00am to 3:00pm and Fridays from 8:00am to 1:00pm. During the beginning of each new semester, the bookstore will have extended hours. Hours will be posted outside the Bookstore and will be sent in advance to your KVCC e-mail, or click HERE to see a pdf of this months hours.

CHARGE ACCOUNTS

Students who are charging their books to financial aid or a sponsor must wait until two weeks before classes start to pick up their books for the spring and fall semesters, and one week for the summer semester. Charge accounts close 3 to 4 weeks into the fall and spring semesters, and 1 to 2 weeks into the summer semester. After accounts close books/supplies may no longer be obtained on accounts. The exact date for account closing will be posted outside the bookstore each semester and will be sent in advance to your KVCC email.

Please have your schedule with you when you come to buy your textbooks, as this is how we determine which textbooks you need. Also, all students that are being sponsored by an outside agency (ex. Career Center, TDC, etc...) please bring a copy of the voucher from the sponsor to expedite the process.

Before you get your books, have the bookstore staff check to ensure your name is on our financial aid/sponsor list. If it is not, you will need to contact the cashier’s office before you can charge your books.

We accept Visa, Master Card, and Discover credit cards, as well as cash or checks.
