How to Return Books at the Memphis Campus
- Take your rental books to the main desk and let them know you are returning books for the Bulldog Depot.
- After dropping off your books, email bookstore@uu.edu and include:
- Your name
- The date the books were dropped off
- The title(s) or item(s) returned
⚠️ Important Information About Memphis Returns
The Memphis campus serves as a drop-off location only. The Memphis staff collects rental books on behalf of the Bulldog Depot and sends them to the Jackson campus for processing.
Your rental books will remain on your account until they physically arrive at the Jackson campus and are processed by the Bulldog Depot. Because of this, you may continue to receive automated rental return reminders or other communications after dropping off your books in Memphis.
You will not be charged overdue fees while your books are being transferred from Memphis to Jackson, as long as they were dropped off within the appropriate return timeframe and you emailed the bookstore with your drop-off information.
📦 Return Books by Mail
You may also mail your rental books directly to:
Bulldog Depot
1050 Union University Dr.
Jackson, TN 38305
Once your package has been shipped, you must email bookstore@uu.edu and include:
- Your name
- Tracking number
- Estimated arrival date
⚠️ Important: Packages that are lost or not received by the Bulldog Depot remain the responsibility of the student.
We highly recommend purchasing tracking and shipping insurance when mailing your rental books. Please keep your tracking information until your rental return has been received and processed by the Bulldog Depot.
Please do not mail rental books without a tracking number.
💵 Late Rental Returns
Overdue rental books are subject to a $10 late fee per book.
If you are returning overdue books and are not returning them in person to the Jackson campus, please submit the applicable late fee payment through the Late Fee Payment page.
Thank you!
