Cash is accepted; checks should be written out to World Impact, Inc.

Textbooks may only be read while in the TUMI Main Campus area.
Textbooks must be signed out for the time in which the book is being read.
Student is NOT allowed to write in textbooks, reference books, or any other related materials.
3) If a student takes a TUMI course as an Individual Study, the following rules apply:
The textbooks may be used for the period in which the Individual Study course is taken.
Textbooks will be on a loan basis, which means that the student is not allowed to write in the textbooks or deface them in any other way.
If the student does not return the textbooks in good condition, he/she may be charged the full cost to replace the damaged textbooks depending on the extent of the damage (full discretion is given to the TUMI-LA staff).
If the student loses, misplaces, or fails to return the textbooks after the course is completed, he/she will be charged the full cost to replace the missing textbooks.
