Will financial aid pay for my books and when will it be available?
|
Financial aid must first be used to cover charges for tuition and fees. If there are additional funds available and if the funds are not restricted to payment of tuition and fees, these additional funds can be made available in the bookstore to purchase books and required supplies.
Financial Aid Availability:
Students will need to go to Campus Connect to electronically sign their financial aid authorization (book sheet). This authorization will allow your aid to be released to the Follett Bookstore to charge books and pay for any other miscellaneous charges on your account for the upcoming semester.

I'm a TAA student. Why will the bookstore not allow me to order my books?
