Eligibility

The book advance amount is based on enrollment level, authorized financial aid, and charges. The maximum value is listed below.

  • $1,300 for full-time students (12 or more credits)

A student may meet the eligibility requirements, but not be eligible for the maximum value.鈥疉n example would be a full-time student with a $200 pending credit balance.鈥疉lthough the full-time limit is $1,300, the student will be eligible for only a $200 book advance.

The bookstore will not issue cash refunds on books or course material that were purchased with a book advance. Students do not need to spend the entire book advance. Book advance charges are added to the student鈥檚 bill. If eligibility changes and/or financial aid is not enough to cover book advance charges, the student is responsible for repaying the charge. If the student drops a class or fully withdraws from 含羞草影院 Community College and a book advance was used, they may be responsible to pay back all or part of the book advance.
