In cooperation with Barnes & Noble Bookstore @ MSU
Students receiving financial aid may be eligible to access a portion of their financial aid funds to charge purchases of textbooks and supplies at the Barnes & Noble Bookstore @ MSU.
Students who have a finalized financial aid award at least two weeks prior to the first day of classes that exceeds the total of their university charges by $50 or more will be notified by email of their eligibility to charge textbooks and supplies at the Barnes & Noble Bookstore @ MSU.
Purchases may be charged beginning one week prior to the first day of classes, through the fourth day of the term.
There is a $500 maximum charge amount per term, regardless of the student’s expected excess financial aid funds.
Short-term loans are not approved for students who are eligible to charge textbook purchases at the Barnes & Noble Bookstore @ MSU at the beginning of fall or spring semester.
An accounts receivable charge is updated to the student’s university account for textbooks and supplies purchased at the Barnes & Noble Bookstore @ MSU under this program. Eligibility is based on financial aid awards on a date prior to final registration deadlines; changes in financial aid awards resulting from registration changes may impact the automatic payoff of these charges. It remains the student’s responsibility to ensure his/her account with the university is paid. Any unpaid balances are subject to late fees and other collection procedures.
