In cooperation with Barnes & Noble Bookstore @ Minnesota State Mankato
The University has set up a special arrangement with the Barnes & Noble bookstore on campus to allow students who are scheduled to receive financial aid overages to charge textbook/supply purchases for a limited time at the start of Fall and Spring Semesters. Eligibility is based on having finalized financial aid awards by at least three weeks prior to the start of the semester in an amount that exceeds university charges. Eligible students receive an e-mail notification just prior to the textbook charge period.
Purchases may be charged beginning one week prior to the first day of classes, through the fourth day of the term.
Another option for students who are not eligible to charge textbook purchases against financial aid is to enroll in a Nelnet/FACTS payment plan no later than three weeks prior to the start of each semester. Students enrolled in Nelnet/FACTS at that time will also be allowed to charge textbook/supplies at the Barnes & Noble bookstore on campus for the same charge periods provided above.
There is a $500 maximum charge amount per term, regardless of the student’s expected excess financial aid funds or Nelnet/FACTS payment plan budget.
Short-term loans are not approved for students who are eligible to charge textbook purchases at the Barnes & Noble Bookstore @ Minnesota State Mankato 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 @ Minnesota State Mankato 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.
