Bookstore Credits are extended approximately one week prior to the start of the term to eligible students. This allows students to use a portion of their financial aid to purchase required books for registered courses before classes begin. The bookstore credit is not an additional financial aid award and the cost of books purchased will be deducted from any financial aid awards. The maximum authorized amount will be determined by the student&#8217;s eligibility not to exceed $1000 per term. If your financial aid awards do not cover the cost of Tuition, Fees, and Books, or if you become ineligible for financial aid, you will be responsible for payment of any remaining semester charges.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Students with excess financial funds after their tuition and fees have been paid can use their remaining funds in the Barnes and Noble Bookstore during designated time periods.
