We apologize for the delay. Please check the TNCC website and TV monitors throughout the college for updates.

Beginning this fall, Thomas Nelson Community College (TNCC) students can save 50 percent or more on textbooks at TNCC bookstores through an affordable alternative to buying called Rent-A-Text.

Offered through TNCC’s ongoing partnership with Follett Higher Education Group, the Rent-A-Text program is available in-store and online with in-store pick up. The bookstore is in Griffin Hall on TNCC’s Hampton campus and at its Historic Triangle campus on the first floor.

Those age 18 or older can take advantage of the program using a valid credit card or financial aid funds. An email address and a driver’s license/state ID is also required. To access Rent-A-Text through TNCC bookstores, go to http://www.tncc.edu/bookstore/ , log on or create an account, and complete a rental agreement. The agreement signifies a person’s commitment to bringing the book back by the check-in date.

Students who need to drop off Financial Aid or Veteran Affairs paperwork will see an advisor in room 212, Griffin Hall.

Students who have questions about their Financial Aid or VA Benefits, will need to go to the Gallery located in Wythe Hall just past the Gators Cafeteria, next to the Library.
