Bookstores are located on the Elkhorn, Kenosha and Racine campuses. Students can purchase textbooks as well as required course supplies at these locations. Students may also purchase course materials online.
Spring 2025 Semester
Spring Semester rental textbook return and textbook buyback will take place April 14-23, 2025.
Textbook Rental Return
Students must return all textbook rentals in person at a campus Follett Bookstore location or return via mail at the student’s expense. If returning by mail, please include your rental account information: phone number, email, student ID and rental ID.
Summer 2025 Semester
Students enrolled in Summer 2025 courses are encouraged to purchase their course materials online by visiting efollett.com. They can also review their class schedule in My Gateway, which will link directly to needed course materials in eFollett. Items can be shipped to the students home or select in-store pick up to one of the three campus bookstores.
Textbook rental and buyback will not be available for the Summer Semester. Limited supplies (i.e. notebooks, pens, calculators, etc.) will be available for Summer Semester.
Gateway is transitioning to a new bookstore vendor that will provide textbooks and supplies to our students. The Follett campus bookstore locations will be closing to the public on the following dates:
Elkhorn Campus: June 6
Racine Campus: June 13
Kenosha Campus: June 20
Gateway’s new bookstore vendor will be open in campus bookstore locations for Fall Semester. Updated information on the bookstore transition will be provided in the coming months.
Financial Aid Online and In-Store
Students may use their financial aid funds to purchase textbooks and supplies online and in the bookstores while funding is available.
Computer and mobile devices (laptops, net books, tablets) may be purchased with financial aid, limited to one device per student’s school career. A student ID or government issued ID and a current class schedule are all that are needed to use financial aid in the bookstore.
