How to find out if you have enough financial aid to pay for books

Check your financial aid offer in e-services under “Awards by Credit Level”. If you are borrowing a Federal Direct loan, add the amount you will receive for the semester to your grant funding amount. (You must complete the Loan Request Process and have your loan certified by the college before your loan will be considered as financial aid.) Check “Bills and Payment” in your e-services account to determine your charges.

Please be aware that you will be responsible for book charges if your financial aid does not cover the items charged or if you do not have enough financial aid.
