Financial Aid

Using financial aid money to purchase books

The Holmes Student Center Bookstore and the Village Commons Bookstore have a student charge system which allows students receiving financial assistance to charge up to $700 of books and school supplies for the Fall and Spring Semesters and up to $350 for the Summer Semester to their university tuition account at the Bursar's Office.

There is a limited time for the charge system. Contact their offices to view the dates for which the charge system will take place each semester.
