In addition to the Short Term Advance, eligible Financial Aid recipients may receive a $600 line of credit for textbook purchases from the ����ý Bookstore.

• As the line of credit program is a non-institutional charge, the student must provide ����ý authorization to apply any federal financial aid funds disbursed to their account towards any non-institutional charges on their account for the same aid year (see below for authorization details).

FEDERAL FUNDS AUTHORIZATION:

Program regulations permit students to authorize use of Title IV financial aid funds for non-institutional expenses (such as books, parking, health fees, etc.). If you are eligible for Federal financial aid in excess of tuition and fees, and you wish to use this excess to cover non-institutional charges including books, you must authorize ����ý to pay these charges from your account balance.

You may provide this authorization (or confirm that you have an authorization on file) by completing the following steps:

1. Sign into with your ����ý credentials
2. Click/tap the "Money Matters!" tile
3. Click/tap the " Your Financial Aid - Sign into Self-Service (the 'Piggy Bank' icon)��
4. Click/tap the "����ý Title IV Federal Authorization Form" tile

This authorization is valid for funds in excess of tuition and fees, based on your financial aid eligibility and enrollment status.

You may rescind this authorization at any time. If the authorization is rescinded, future Title IV aid disbursements applied to your account will not pay any non-institutional charges. Please be aware that ANY unpaid past-due charges on your account will prohibit you from future ����ý registration, obtaining transcripts, and may result in the assessment of additional late payment and/or collection fees in the future.

Note: When processing a transaction using the ����ý Bookstore Line of Credit option (referred to as the “student financial aid” option at checkout), and the order exceeds your approved and available line of credit amount, you will need to provide an alternate option of payment before submitting your order. If no other payment option is on the order, the order will not be processed.
