Textbook Distribution
In order to receive textbooks:
Steps to create an HCC book list and pick up books:
If you are given a book voucher to purchase books from HCC that are not available in the BDCHS-HCC bookstore, you MUST return the receipt. If you do not use the voucher, you MUST return it. If you do not return the receipt or voucher, it may hinder your ability to get future textbooks.
- All previously loaned textbooks, receipts, and unused vouchers must be returned first (refer to "Textbook Return" section below for steps). Textbooks should be returned immediately after they are no longer needed, but at least by the day after the last day of HCC class for that semester.
- An HCC schedule for that term must be printed and submitted the school day after you register. Make sure to write the BDCHS blocks you want the HCC classes to count in place of (if applicable). Any needed schedule changes should be discussed with the dual enrollment supervisor in case issues arise. Your name must be visible on the electronic schedule; no schedule will be accepted if your name is written on it. Turn this in DIRECTLY to the dual enrollment supervisor. Only a physical form of your schedule, or an email with a PDF of the schedule (from HawkNet) attached, will be accepted. Emailed pictures of the schedule will not be accepted.
- Turn in a printed HCC book list.
Steps to create an HCC book list and pick up books:
- Once you have registered for HCC classes, you must print your required book list. Navigate to the HCC bookstore website: https://www.hccfl.edu/bookstore/textbooks/online-textbook-ordering.aspx
- Select the campus at which you are taking the class. If you are taking classes at multiple campuses, you must create a separate booklist for each campus.
- Search for your course(s) and print the booklist.
- At the top, write your first and last name and the date you turn in the booklist.
- Place the booklist in the black basket in the Student Services Office
- Give at least 2 school days for the book list to be processed and stop by during lunch or after school to check if the textbook(s) and/or voucher is ready.
If you are given a book voucher to purchase books from HCC that are not available in the BDCHS-HCC bookstore, you MUST return the receipt. If you do not use the voucher, you MUST return it. If you do not return the receipt or voucher, it may hinder your ability to get future textbooks.
Textbook Return
Textbooks should be returned immediately after they are no longer needed, but at least by the last day of HCC class for that semester.
If you do not return books, receipts, or unused vouchers, you may be placed on a debt list and become ineligible to use the BDCHS textbook system.
- Return dual enrollment textbooks to the Student Services Office.
- Take a scrap paper and write your first and last name, the semester you used the book, and the current date on the paper. Also, if you used an electronic resource (e-book, access code, etc.) and therefore cannot return it, write a note about it on the paper too (ex: English book was an ebook and can't return).
- Place the paper on top of the books.
- Put the books together in one plastic bag.
- Leave the materials in the appropriate area in Student Services.
If you do not return books, receipts, or unused vouchers, you may be placed on a debt list and become ineligible to use the BDCHS textbook system.
