Bookstore Charges Using Financial Aid

Students whose financial aid exceeds their charges and who have signed a Financial Aid/Bookstore Release form may make purchases from either our campus or online. To verify that you have completed the Bookstore Release form, please log into your Student Self-Service account or contact the Financial Aid office for assistance. Note that once you complete this form, it can take up to 72 hours for funds to be available to charge. This only needs to be completed once.

There is an automated bookstore charge process that allows eligible students to make charges at the bookstore or online without contacting the Financial Aid Office first. Automated bookstore charges will be available the week before classes start until the end of the 2nd week of classes. After the end of the automated charge period, contact the Financial Aid Office. If you are eligible for a voucher, one will be sent to the bookstore on your behalf.

If your first classes in the semester do not begin until the 12-week or 2nd 8-week session, please contact the Financial Aid Office to request a voucher once it is within 10 calendar days of the beginning of your first class(es) of the semester.
