What are the requirements for renting books?
You need to be 19 years or older, with a valid credit card, an email address, and a Student UBC card. You’ll need to fill out a rental agreement (the attached shows you what you’re agreeing to) either on the ecommerce site when you rent books online or at our front cashier desk when you’re in the store. This signifies your commitment to bringing your book back by the return date. Under Canadian law, a person that has not reached the “age of majority” which is 19 in BC can not be legally bound by any contracts that they sign. That is why we require a guardian’s signature. They either sign the agreement online when you ‘checkout’ with your books or they have to come with you to the Bookstore.
