Please be prepared to pay for books and supplies using resources other than financial aid. However, because aid disbursement cannot occur until approximately 3-4 weeks into the semester, the Barnes & Nobles campus bookstore locations will allow students to purchase books and supplies on credit, if you have enough “anticipated” aid for the semester. This is for a limited time, please see chart below: Bookstore Credit Begins: Check with Financial Aid office for the current dates Bookstore Credit Ends: Check with Financial Aid office for the current dates You must have more anticipated aid than the cost of tuition and fees for the term. You must sign a Financial Aid Release authorizing JCTC to release the amount of anticipated aid to Barnes & Nobles. [One time only- can be rescinded] If you already have a release on file, you do not have to complete another one. The amount you charge at the bookstore is placed on your student account as a bookstore charge. Please note: Bookstore charging schedule is subject to change as dictated by the KCTCS Systems Office.
