IMPORTANT INFORMATION
- In order for students to use their Financial Aid on the Follett website, they must complete the Bookstore Authorization available in SIS once a year. (Wait 24 hours for the authorization to process.)
- Students may use their financial aid to purchase textbooks and must do so within the 2-week time period that financial aid can be used at the beginning of each semester. You must buy your 8W2 books at the same time you purchase your 8W1 books.
- You CANNOT rent physical books using financial aid.
- You must buy your 8W2 books at the same time you purchase your 8W1 books.
- Do not wait to buy your e-books. The free trial cannot be used throughout the entire term. Do not try to “beat the system.”
- If you do not buy your 8W2 books when the financial aid window is open (the beginning of the semester) and you receive a financial aid refund, you will be required to pay for those books out-of-pocket.
- Students starting in 8W2 ONLY can use their financial aid to pay for their books through Follett.
- For additional help please contact Kentrelle Walker at kwalker@es.vccs.edu
