Polk State College Bookstores
The Winter Haven Campus and Lakeland Campus bookstores provide in-person services, online ordering, and delivery by mail. Additionally, Polk State’s bookstores offer returns by mail for rental textbooks. Students should visit the Rental Return page on the online bookstore site to create a $5 UPS label. Students will need their order ID to complete the transaction.
NOTICE: CHARGING BOOKS
After a delay to the start date, Polk State College students now have the ability to charge books once again.
With a Polk State student ID, students will be able to charge textbooks until Aug. 23. Dates to charge books with a Polk State student ID were originally scheduled for Aug. 1 through 19. The postponement came as Polk State upgraded its software – from Passport to the Polk Portal.
Students charging textbooks were previously asked for their Passport ID. Students will now use their Polk Portal ID number. This Polk Portal ID is different from their Passport ID and can be found by logging into the Polk Portal and visiting their profile page.
The new Polk Portal is students’ one-stop shop for Student Services and Financial Services. Students use the Polk Portal to register for classes, make payments, accept financial aid awards, and more.
