How do I use financial aid to buy books at the bookstore?
Updated October 24, 2022
Funds are not disbursed until after the start of the term, but you may need books right away. If eligible, you can charge books at PCC Bookstores before your financial aid funds are disbursed. You should check? your Financial Aid Dashboard in MyPCC to see if you are approved to charge books.
If you are approved, you will see “bookstore charge approval” with a green check-mark under the Stop Light icon. This means you can go straight to the bookstore. The bookstore will verify that you are approved to charge for the term at the cash register. You just need to let the cashier know that you would like to pay with financial aid and present your PCC ID.
