Do you have a used book that the Book Store won't buy back? Don't have the time to sell it? Bring it to The Central office, and we can sell it for you. The Consignment Book Sale Program allows students to place their used text books for sale on our shelves.

Students are able to place their books on consignment on our shelves for one year. The students also get to set their own price, so they can ask for as little or as much as they would like. If the book sells, the students receive a check for 85% of their asking price.

This is a great hassle-free way for students to sell their used books. It's also a great opportunity for students to buy used books for a good price.

The Consignment Book store is open during normal business hours, Monday to Friday 9am to 4pm.

The International Student Identity Card (ISIC) is internationally recognized as proof of full-time student status. More than 70 countries world wide participate in this program. Whether you are travelling home or abroad, this card is a must!

Abroad, ISIC holders receive discounts on travel, accommodation, and entrance into historical and entertainment venues.

Only full-time students are eligible to apply for an ISIC. ISICs are offered free to members of the CFS (any member of The Central is also a member of the CFS). Full-time students who are not members of The Central, but would like to apply for an ISIC can pay a minimal fee for the card.
